2024-10-10 20:51:27 +0000 UTCReminds me of Cumberland Wrestling too I suppose. I think the origins of these things probably go back to when a serious injury could kill you, but people still wanted competitions of strength? I completely pulled that explanation out of my arse there, but it makes enough sense that it might be true :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_and_Westmorland_wrestling

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 23:05:02 +0000 UTCContext is a mighty frustrating thing sometimes when trying to watch comedy from a different culture π π€ͺ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 23:04:46 +0000 UTCYes! Plenty of people explained some of it in the Phoenix Nights comments, thank you!! ππ€
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 23:03:19 +0000 UTCWell that is very different!! What range π€£π€£
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 23:02:33 +0000 UTCOh great I can't wait I recommend watching Derek first because there's a few actors who play similar characters
Remi
2024-09-28 00:31:06 +0000 UTCAwesome! So glad to hear it because I loved it and am also excited for more!! ππ€

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:18:57 +0000 UTCIt's nice to have that in common. π€β¨οΈ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:17:39 +0000 UTCOh thank you! I found so many things with the Cunk character I didn't know where to start. Then I started wondering how the character stared! π€β¨οΈ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:16:37 +0000 UTCHahahhaa, thank youuu! ππ€ I really didn't expect almost every line to be a joke! π€£π€ͺ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:15:17 +0000 UTCOn my list! But it will probably take a while for me to get to that one.. π

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:11:44 +0000 UTCONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PLANE!!! ππ€β¨οΈπ» Also, fun reading! I should really look some of this stuff up if I remember to. I find this kind of stuff fascinating!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-28 00:10:44 +0000 UTCJames Corden didn't bother me in Gavin and Stacey. It makes you wonder if Ruth Jones was behind most of the writing.

2024-09-27 10:50:25 +0000 UTCYou bought a plane π―? That's brilliant, congrats. π©οΈ

2024-09-27 10:46:26 +0000 UTCI'm not surprised you've not heard of it as most reactors get suggested the same shows all the time, I can't tell you how many times I've watched reactors doing the Imbetweeners but there are tons of good shows that you'll likely never hear of such as Apple's 'Bad Sisters', BBC's 'Cuckoo', 'BBC's 'Ghosts' the original UK version, BBC's 'Mum', Channel 4's 'Home'. The last three I'd call comfort comedies like Car Share that have a heart and not just shock factor comedies that most react to. You can enjoy both which I believe broadens the appeal of the channel. Anyway, love your channel, you keep me company whilst I'm at work and I look forward to watching more of this and other shows.

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 02:14:15 +0000 UTCWill check it out Julian! And sorry I can't add facts bit I can definitely critique the art π€ͺπ€£
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 02:10:12 +0000 UTCHaha! Fun stuff! I can't wait. I actually enjoyed it much more than I thought I would!! π€ͺ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 02:09:39 +0000 UTCAhh cool, thank you! π€π€ And LOL! With all the Stephen images you go through, of course you saw it too! π€π
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 02:09:03 +0000 UTCIt is odd that such an important book was available for this! Haha π€£π€£
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 02:07:40 +0000 UTCHAHAHHAA! Ok, but what part of that isn't true? π π€ͺ
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 01:48:22 +0000 UTCOh yes!! Will check now!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 01:33:05 +0000 UTCNever heard of it Jason! Will check it out though π€β¨οΈ

2024-09-27 01:32:47 +0000 UTCOMG!! Haha. Fun stuff!! I have actually heard of the famous cheese rolling! π€£π€£π€£
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 01:32:10 +0000 UTCI loved it! So fun!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-09-27 01:31:10 +0000 UTCI just saw a patreon of another channel named Fisty Steve... any relation?
Stevus
2024-09-24 22:04:29 +0000 UTCThis show is a great choice. The writing is so good.
Kev
2024-09-24 22:01:06 +0000 UTCI know you laughed at it but Shin-kicking has been a popular sport in the UK since the 17th century with thousands going to watch it in the cotswolds, along with stuff like cornish wrestling. We have loads of weird traditions like Cheese Rolling (running down a steep hill after a wheel of cheese). If you ever come to the UK you should look for some of the more bizarre and weird traditions we have.
Rob DW
2024-09-24 12:11:26 +0000 UTCDead Set is massively underrated more people should watch it.
Rob DW
2024-09-24 12:01:28 +0000 UTCYeah, definitely a historic preservation group of some sort, but beyond that... π€·ββοΈ
Stevus
2024-09-23 20:06:10 +0000 UTCIβm sure that woman is not the sole keeper of the Domesday book. Itβs possible the organisation is told the full story and then they choose who to put in front of the camera. I suspect they know whatβs going on, they just donβt know what Diane is going to say.
Julian T
2024-09-23 20:02:08 +0000 UTCDiane is great, she also is involved in the sitcom Motherland, hopefully you'll get round to this at some point.
Jason Bonner
2024-09-23 10:48:38 +0000 UTCNice choice Mandy! I have never paid full attention to this show, though I've seen bits and pieces, and seen other reactors watch an episode here and there. It'll be fun to explore them fully with you for the first time. βΊοΈ Also, can you check your messages or email. I have a question.

AWR93
2024-09-23 03:51:20 +0000 UTCIt's crazy they got the Domesday book out for this! You asked the question, are the people she's interviewing in on the joke? I don't think they are, which if true, would make them getting that book out for a spoof history show even more hilarious. I wonder If anyone was fired for that?π€ It might be interesting seeing what she has to say about Queen Elizabeth in the next episode now that you've become acquainted with her Blackadder incarnation. Fun stuff ππ€π
Stevus
2024-09-23 01:28:15 +0000 UTCGreat choice, great programme. If you think it's awesome, then you go for it, regardless. I knew when you paused you were going to say that woman looked like Steve :) I saw it before you said it so there must be something to it. Also if you want to remove the subtitles, you can do that by right-clicking in the video window of VLC and going to Subtitles / Disable (or none). Unless they are hard-coded which would be strange. Looking forward to the next ep!
Rusty Dog
2024-09-23 00:15:04 +0000 UTCThis was good fun. Next time they might cover Queenie from Blackadder.
John George
2024-09-22 23:52:44 +0000 UTCI worry each time that it's going to be a James Corden programme. Americans love him!
Jeffrey44
2024-09-22 22:31:59 +0000 UTCThis was a pleasant surprise. Iβve seen people react to clip compilations but not the full show. There are some history teachers/experts who react to it and add factual information, thatβs quite fun. I heard that the people being interviewed are told to imagine theyβre talking to a child. If you like Diane Morgan you should watch a show called Motherland. Itβs very funny, I think youβll like it.
Julian T
2024-09-22 22:29:58 +0000 UTCHey! I don't know why you worry when you start a new showβyou always make a good choice. I'm looking forward to watching it as soon as I can. As always, thank you truly, Mandy...π«‘ππ€

2024-09-22 20:48:02 +0000 UTCI've just tuned into Mandy's art review channel. Hahaha She's not exaggerating on everything. Where she mentioned people avoided water and drank beer isn't necessarily wrong. The Vikings and the Brits after used to create mead from fermented honey and beers from barley. They were barely anywhere near the purity of todays beers, maybe 0.5% alcohol at best but farmers would drink it all day as it was sterile and contained good nutritional value. It's also true about gluten. Gluten is a modern discovery but we've always had intolerance. I read that it's estimated around 85% of the worlds population is gluten intolerant and around 60% (mostly asia) is lactose intolerant. I'm told westeners actually smell like milk to people in India etc because of how much we consume. Our ability to digest bread and milk is unique to the west. Even sugar didn't really exist here until around 400 years ago when we found it being grown in indonesia. Today's the day!!! Check your insta. Bought a plane lads. π

2024-09-22 19:29:40 +0000 UTCI will be honest and say this isn't really my cup of tea... BUUUT!!! I watched all the way through because I enjoyed your reaction to literally everything she said. :D
Steven Bennett
2024-09-22 19:29:15 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed that too :D Can't wait for the next one! Edit: I don't know if you'll be interested in watching these in your spare time Mandy, but i found these things on Youtube that were made before Cunk on Britain: Cunk on Christmas: (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ2P5vHZFpI Also, Cunk on Charity: (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDllsSrRUzs

Remi
2024-09-22 17:06:47 +0000 UTCDiane is also in afterlife another show I'd absolutely love to see your reaction too
Remi
2024-09-22 17:00:43 +0000 UTCThat was great π€£ π€£π€£ I'd not seen a full episode before, and I love it when something unexpected makes you erupt with a spontaneous explosion of laughter, it's strangely satisfying .
Tee Tee
2024-09-22 16:48:42 +0000 UTCThe show was created by Charlie Brooker, a comedy writer/actor who started a show called 'Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe in which he sarcastically dissected British TV shows. This spawned a similar shows called Weekly Wipe and News Wipe where it was more of the same but now taking the piss out of current events, tv and film. The character of Philomena Cunk first appeared as a 'random' member of the public that would appear on screen to talk absolute nonsense about one topic or another. Brooker went on to have major international success with the darkly satirical nightmare fuel that is 'Black Mirror' and then a few years brought Cunk back for this because Diane Morgan was just too good in the role. He also wrote a short series called 'Dead Set' about the British version of the Big Brother tv show being filmed during a zombie apocalypse.

2024-09-22 16:29:29 +0000 UTCDiane Morgan (Cunk) wrote and starred in her own BBC sitcom. She played a character called Mandy, so you have that in common with her.
Jeffrey44
2024-09-22 15:43:26 +0000 UTCI've been wanting to watch this for ages, but never got around to it. Thank you Mandy, this is going to be awesome π€ you certainly liked this one π
Josh Read
2024-09-22 15:20:53 +0000 UTCI loved this! I'd only seen clips before too. Can't wait for more!

2024-09-22 15:02:30 +0000 UTCThe main writer Charlie Brooker is the man who also created Black Mirror
Jonathan Davies
2024-09-22 14:09:59 +0000 UTCBtw Mandy the war of the roses between Yorkshire and Lancashire was part of the joke of Phoenix Nights when they had the cowboy stand off. Thatβs why it ended up in a massive brawl π
Jonathan Davies
2024-09-22 14:06:50 +0000 UTCThe character Philomena Cunk started out in vox pops and a segment called "Moments of Wonder" on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe/Newswipe/other variations. Netflix did a year-end version called Death to 2020, 34 years after the debut of the BBC sitcom Brush Strokes. The wipe shows are funny (although harsh - and they seem to be filmed in the black lodge) but you might have the same context issues you experience with mock the week and the big fat quiz. Also, Good Pick!

2024-09-22 13:43:59 +0000 UTCGreat choice!!!! Cunk is one of the best characters ever created π
Jonathan Davies
2024-09-22 13:23:17 +0000 UTCThe people she interviews are aware, but they don't know what she's going to ask and they're told to try to answer it seriously, as far as I'm aware. You know there were outtakes where they laughed :)
irreverend
2024-09-22 13:15:45 +0000 UTCThe experts are real experts, however they do know the show is satire. However they don't have any idea what she is gonna say. So it's still real reactions to what she says lol
