People are inventing “Titles I‘d fully believe were British TV shows” and they’ll make you go “yep, would probably watch that”
Mara Wilson – best known as playing Matilda as a child – has kicked off a Twitter thread about imagined British TV shows:
Titles I‘d fully believe were British TV shows:
Beamish and Quigley
The Quite Corking Quiz Show
Shan’t We Tell the Vicar?
A Bee’s As Good As A Bonnet
Up Your Arse, Alistair!
That Isn’t How We Do It in Lincolnshire, That Isn’t How We Do It At All
Just Joanna Lumley

Pretty sure we watched “Shan’t We Tell the Vicar?” – they still repeat it on UK Gold.
This has provoked a load of people to join in with stuff like “Slags and hoovers”
Shush Now, Milady.
How Green Can A Frog Be?
O’er The Michaelmas.
Slags And Hoovers.
Bent Coppers.
The Doctor Will Eat You Now!

And finally, to reverse the trend: TV shows you’d believe were American
Conversely, shows I'd believe are American:
Xtreme Job Interviews
Car Wars
Real Murders of Alabama
CSI Seattle
Real Medics And Their Guns
Highway Patrol: Amish Country
All American Supermodels Who Murder— .☆.:・*-♡-☆°・**[Fudge Judge Maz]☆°・*-♡-☆°・*:. (@MazHem_) January 9, 2018
