List #32: British TV Comedies to Watch on Hulu (for free) --- Part 3 of 3


For many of us, this time of the year isn't about what we want so much as what we don't want.

We don't want to spend money and we don't want to think too much.

So here you go.


[Start with Part 1 here and Part 2 here.]


12. Spaced

5 key words: flatmates, pop culture references galore

Representative quote: "You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese."


13. That Mitchell and Webb Look

5 key words: sketch show, helivets, snooker, numberwang

Representative quote: "Know you not, Miss Bennet, that Mr. Darcy has been freestyle disco champion of all of Derbyshire these last dozen years?"



14. The Thick of It

5 key words: politics, yelling, gloriously baroque swearing

Representative quote:
"Are you lying to me now about not lying to me before?"
"No, No... I am not a liar! I categorically did not knowingly not tell the truth, even though unknowingly I might not have done."


15. Whites

5 key words: executive chef, country house hotel

Representative quote:
"Wow, look at this place. Right up your street, Roly. Old school."
"Well, it's an old building."
"And it did used to be a school."
"Right, it is an old school, but I wouldn't describe it as ..."



16. The Wrong Mans

5 key words: mistaken identity, office workers, danger
