British TV Show Recommendations

If you want to listen to British accents, why not practise by watching some British TV series?

Here are some recommendations to get you started:

  • The IT Crowd is an excellent comedy sitcom set in an IT department. The main characters' accents are Southern English and Irish.

  • Harry Enfield and Chums is a comedy sketch show that showcases different British accents in a very silly way. Personally, I love it.

  • Catastrophe is a funny and romantic series with a mix of accents including Irish, Southern English, Scottish and American.

  • Black Mirror is one of my favourite TV shows. The episodes are not linked so you can start anywhere. They are all like mini movies. The show is set in the near future and it's extremely thought-provoking.

  • Humans is another thought-provoking series set in the near future. It shows us how things could be if we all have a human-like robot in our homes to help us.

If you have any questions, ask me in the comments or on my Facebook or Instagram pages.
