It may be the East Coast Canadian in me I guess... we have a very strong heritage of Scottish, Irish and English here. Tea and toast daily is a real thing
Kumars was also about the concept of the show inside a show.

Every so often the UK allow a new comedy idea to come onto the screens. The problem recently has been the dramas. I try to watch them and 10 to 20 minutes in, nothing has happened. Sherlock is an exception. A programme like a YT video has to kick off with a reason to watch. Or spoilt for choice, we go elsewhere.
