About this show

Hilarious cult sitcom series which takes the mockumentary format to explore the lives of young people in modern rural Britain, focusing on cousins Kerry and Lee 'Kurtan' Mucklowe and their life experiences in their typical Cotswold village. Rural populations are often close-knit, and This Country explores how Kerry and Kurtan interact (badly) with their community.
