What it takes to be British

Tea is a nice thing but we're just not quite sure why the Brits adore it so. Maybe you should brew up a pot, do some "teasearch" and catch Murdoch Mysteries, weekdays at 16:40 on ITV Choice (123).

It's cool innit bruv? Yeah there's mad slag here and if we kept going, we'd be knackered! But for more ace examples, tune in to Youngers, Tuesdays at 20:00 on BBC Brit (120), also available on DStv Catch Up.

Life gets more interesting when emotional people say things nobody else understands. The British have an excellent way of insulting and confusing one another at the same time. Catch Peaky Blinders Season 2 at 21:10 on Wednesdays on BBC First (119) as well as on DStv Catch Up.

Violet Crawley sums this up in every episode of Downton Abbey Season 6 (Sundays at 20:00 on BBC First, 119 - also available on DStv Catch Up) with quotes like: "At my age, one must ration one’s excitement."; "Vulgarity is no substitute for wit," and "I am a woman Mary, I can be as contrary as I choose."

You have to be good at complaining about the weather in order to be considered British. But look on the bright side, you can snuggle up inside and catch The Missing on Wednesdays at 20:00 on BBC First (119). Also available on DStv Catch Up.
