This week we're talking about television in the UK, looking at some of the most-watched shows in recent decades and how they fit into wider UK culture. We discuss some iconic TV moments that everyone in the UK knows about (even if they weren't even born when they first aired!) and explain a bit about the different cultural connotations attached to various UK TV channels and broadcasters (you're not gonna want to miss the Cheat Sheet for this episode - it's a veritable treasure trove of clips!)

We're also making a very exciting announcement about the launch of our course, British English through TV Shows. You can find out more and try the first lesson for free (no sign up required) here.

For all the things we mention but don’t fully explain, check out the Cheat Sheet for this episode, which you can download from our Patreon page. Patreon supporters also get access to our 35-page PDF accent guide. Cultural guides, including the accent guide, are also available to buy individually from our Ko-fi shop.
