About This Country

This Country is a faux-documentary that drops a film crew into a sleepy Cotswolds village and points the camera at the people everyone else forgot. At its heart are cousins Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe, two young adults with boundless free time, zero prospects, and an ongoing feud over scarecrow festivals, vandalised trampolines, and who gets the good seat. Almost nothing happens, and that is precisely the joke and the heartbreak.

What makes the show sing is its tenderness underneath the bickering. The episodes drift through petty rivalries, dead-end jobs, and the gentle interventions of the local vicar, but they keep circling back to a real question: what do you do with a life when the world has quietly passed your corner of it by? The deadpan interviews, the long awkward pauses, and the small-town specificity make rural English boredom feel oddly universal.

Warm, foul-mouthed, and quietly devastating, This Country turned overlooked lives into something hilarious and humane. It launched the careers of its writer-stars and proved that the smallest stakes can carry the biggest feelings, all thanks to real-life siblings Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper.
