From slapstick humor to dry wit and everything in between, the Brits certainly know how to tickle your funny bone. For fans in the Philippines, Lionsgate Play has curated a collection of must-see British comedies that promise to have you laughing out loud. Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or new to the genre, here’s a lineup that shouldn’t be missed.
Everything I Know About Love
Based on the
memoir by Dolly Alderton, Everything I
Know About Love offers a raucously tender exploration of female friendship,
bad dates, and navigating life in your twenties. Set in the 2000s, the series
tackles the highs and lows of adulthood with humor and heart. With its
relatable characters and nostalgic nods, it's a vibrant addition to the
landscape of British comedy that resonates with the millennial crowd. Starring Emma Appleton and Hannah Dodd, it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to reminisce about
the early 2000s or those going through their own quarter-life crisis.
Motherland
Venturing into the realm of parental humor,
Motherland is a brilliant take on the
trials and tribulations of middle-class parenting. This sitcom dives deep into
the chaotic world of competitive playdates, last-minute school projects, and
the never-ending quest for "me time." Its sharply written script and
outstanding ensemble cast, including Anna
Maxwell Martin and Diane Morgan,
offer a candid and hysterical look at motherhood like you’ve never seen before.
Keeping Mum
Keeping
Mum is a British comedy that revolves around the
life of Walter Goodfellow (Rowan
Atkinson), a vicar too absorbed in writing the perfect sermon to notice the
chaos unravelling in his own family. His wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) is entangled in a flirtation with her
American golf instructor (Patrick
Swayze), while their daughter juggles a series of boyfriends and their son
becomes a magnet for bullies. The arrival of Grace Hawkins (Maggie Smith), the new housekeeper,
introduces a twist as she proposes a drastic, and possibly dark, solution to
restore harmony in the Goodfellow household.
Johnny English Strikes Again
The incomparable Rowan Atkinson plays the bumbling yet somehow always successful MI7
agent Johnny English, who returns for a third hilariously high-stakes mission
in Johnny English Strikes Again.
After a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all active undercover agents in
Britain, English is the Secret Service’s last hope. Untrained in modern
technology but equipped with analog methods and distinctive wit, English dives
headfirst into action.
