If somebody kidnapped a royal to make the UK PM gently caress a pig live on international television that'd be pretty funny though. 7/10 episode.

I see you don't understand modern British politics or modern British television. These are a people who voted to gently caress their entire country while watching season 17 of a show about baking or a show on season 37 where 4 people you don't know make bad jokes.

The British people are absolutely starved for new content that can match their current degeneracy.

Pigs of Britain will be 6 30min episodes a season but will fun for decades, slowly getting more and more bizarre and people will LOVE it.

EDIT: i'm most excited for the Dr. Who crossover episode where the pig is actually a highly sentient alien and the Dr's gotta gently caress it to keep it from destroying Cardiff.

seriously, the rest of the episodes are speculation about letting technology consume more of our lives and the impact on our social structure

the first episode is “lol what if the prime minister hosed a pig on TV”

i’ve somehow seen it like three times and call me loving dense or whatever but it doesn’t have any themes or anything to say, it’s just sensationalist schlock surrounded by a flimsy “no no seriously it could happen!”

Throughout the episode, the government tries to handle the incident calmly and decently and explore other options for the princess' rescue, but they are unable to do this due to things like social media, mob mentality, dodgy journalism, etc. The ending is the entire population so wrapped up in the sensationalism of it all, they almost completely forget about the princess they claimed to care so much about, to the point that nobody's even around when she's released because they're too busy watching TV. Also, when the government relents and gives the people what they think they want, the people soon realize how horrible it is and feel sad and gross for it.

One of the most popular British shows is a show where you watch random people watch other shows and comment on them. Not in a funny MST3k style, just like watching TV with your boomer parents. It's run for 30 seasons in multiple forms for over a decade.

This is one aspect of their culture that I actually appreciate. Take all the best Seinfeld jokes each season and compress them down into 6 absolutely solid gold episodes every year.

The success of Gogglebox spawned three spin-off series, including a version featuring children (Gogglesprogs), a version featuring 16- to 24-year-olds as they watch online content (Vlogglebox) and a version featuring celebrities (Celebrity Gogglebox).

I love how all the future dystopias prior to the late nineties were about controlling the masses through violent spectacles like Death Race, Running Man and Rollerball, but we actually end up being controlled by cheap reality TV.
