" Pretty much I would get Gemma have it off … "
Recently, Reddit useru/Edo1405asked the good people ofr/CasualUKwhat their favourite British TV moments were.
Of course, we have our own faves (the “Daddy or chips?“ad, and everything Maura Higgins said onLove Island. UK TV moments like hers are why I have high hopes for the upcomingLove Games…but I digress).
We thought we’d share the Redditors' faves. Here are just a few:
1.The time BBC News accidentally interviewed an applicant for a data support role instead of the tech expert guest they’d booked.
I mean, he gave it a good go:
2.When someone yelled, “I’ve just won a shitload of money” in the background of a news report at the horse races.
Look, I’m not here to police joy:
3.When a player onFamily Fortuneswas asked to name a type of bean, and came up with an unusual answer.
The “L” in “LGBT” stands for “legume” now:
4.Andanotherguy in the background of a Sky news broadcast who shouted “I HATE ICELAND” after an Iceleandic ash cloud grounded all flights.
Passion, people:
5.When Jane wonCome Dine With Me— and her competitor had an awful lot to say about it.
“All the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tires on” rings through my head like a beautiful melody:
6.When Sean Lock reacted to a carrot in a box game in8 Out of 10Cats.
Mood:
7.When the (cursed) character of Mr. Blobby met comedian Jack Whitehall onBig Fat Quiz of the Year.
Look, I’d be scared too:
8.When aGood Morning Britainpresenter asked about the competition for Dan Stevens' role inThe Guestin a very, well,particularway.
TBF, he handled it better than I would have:
9.When a question onThe Chaseinvolved anotablename.
I understand:
10.When a professor’s kid walked in on his BBC news interview.
I would have heard their political opinions out, but okay:
Shout out tou/Edo1405and r/CasualUK for having this discussion! And (just because we’re such a fan of the question), we thought we’d share our fave moments too:
11.Literally any moment fromTaskmaster.
What a gift:
12.And any time Bob Mortimer opens his mouth onWould I Lie To You.
I promise this is worth your time:
13.When Tracey showed us all how to get a man’s number inChewing Gum.
I’m taking notes:
14.Shout-out to Tracey’s unorthodox kissing routine, too.
Icon:
15.BTW, for me, “What a sad little life, Jane” will always lose out to the whisk guy onCome Dine With Me.
Like, it’s not even a competition IMO:
16.When Diedre Barlow fromCoronation Streethad a stare-off with a sheep.
8 class ago today , Deirdre Barlow had a stare off with a sheep . Iconic.pic.twitter.com/LYbGO7cGmH
17.When Tiffany “New York” Pollard thought that David Gest, her co-star onCelebrity Big Brother, was dead, instead ofDavid Bowie(who had just died, and was anotherCBBstar’s ex-husband).
She’s just MADE for reality TV IMO:
18.And when Tiffany basically verbally slaughtered Gemma Collins, also inCBB.
Sheesh:
19.When a CBBC presenter came face-to-face with the humanity of a puppet named Hacker.
Why do I find this cute?
20.Every single moment this bold bovine had on our screens was gold, IMO.
Storymakerswas iconic, ugh:
21.And finally, when Rio fromTracey Beakerlost his Maroon 5 CD.
