Very British Problems is a
celebratory new talking heads show, which sees some of Britain’s most famous
faces share the struggle against the endless capacity of social awkwardness
which comes with being British. Originating from a Twitter account and narrated
by Julie Walters, the show features contributions from James Cordon, Jonathan
Ross, Freddie Flitoff, Nigel Havers and Stephen Mangan and insights from non-
Brits Rich Hall and Aisling Bea.
Why can Brits be furious
enough to tut, but shudder at the thought of complaining? And how come they are
inherently able to decipher the unwritten codes and riles of British behaviour
that the rest of the world doesn’t understand or even know about?
Each prime time, 60 minute
programme is divided into six main subject maters: Office Politics, Clothes
Shopping, The Weather, Waiter Woes, Queues and Other People.
Very British Problems first aired on Thursday 13th August 2015 at 9.00pm on Channel 4. The first episode pulled in over 1.7 million viewers with a 8.9% share.
