Hi. I’ve never been to the UK and I prefer coffee over tea but your comedy panel shows are the shit. So far I’ve enjoyed Would I Lie To You, 8 Out of 10 cats, Big Fat Quiz, QI, Taskmaster, and Last One Laughing. What should I watch next?

If you’re into music then Never Mind the Buzzcocks is worth a watch. It’s quite old and spanned a long period so maybe best just watching classic episodes on YouTube rather than going through chronologically from S1 though
Mock the Week is also great. Each episode starts with a topical part from the week’s news which may go over your head if you don’t know what they’re referencing but after that it moves to comedy which should be suitable for anyone
Have I Got News For You is good as well but only if you’re up to date and interested in British politics and current events, which having never been to the UK probably not but it is good so thought I’d recommend regardless
With never mind the buzzcocks, there is a current series thats on sky one rather than bbc. Its oretty good. Greg Davies is host, same as taskmaster.
If you go looking for series to watch historically, look at the sinon amstell hosted series. Its particularly funny but a bit mean to some of the minor celebrity guests.
Buzzcocks looks fun, will definitely try. I’ve given Have I Got News For You a try but as you predicted there were too many references I didn’t get. I might have conflated it with Mock the Week though, so they might deserve another chance. Thanks :)
