What makes this even funnier is that the kids clearly understand the concept and ham it up just as good as Catherine Tate. The boy actor is particularly good

[humanperson]

My favourite thing about this is that the nanny doesn't even have a particularly strong accent XD

[britdude]

"What is it, dear heart!? Tell all!" absolutely killed me 😂

[cat_city]

I love how she's just this normal, friendly, down to Earth human.
That must be terrifying for Londoners, especially the posh sort.

For anyone who is from the south that has visited the north, the first thing you realise is actually how nice people are!! It's actually a massive culture shock to meet so many friendly strangers... !

[astridservel]

Just for the record this is actually exactly how the class system is in the UK.

[fleshesposito]

I'm from Finland and so visiting London has not been a negative culture shock. People are as cold and distant as back home. :)

I'm a foreigner and took a train to the north once. And, people in the north are the kindest and friendliest you've ever asked for. Many thanks to the ladies and the gentlemen in Edinburgh who went out of their way to help me find the hostel in the midst of the evening rain and snow. Without their help, I'd be totally lost. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A quote from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw-
“It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him.”

The kids' acting in these was superb.

I’m Aussie and I travelled all round England many years ago. Hands down the friendliest people I met were in York and Leeds. The whole North East is full of fantastic, unpretentious people.

As an American this is both fascinating and hilarious, like peeking into another world.

[superduper]

The kids in these sketches are excellent. They really understand the humour involved.

[beccablueeyes]

I just love that despite the posh and out of touch family, they are just so loving and considerate of eachother. They are a perfect family that is completely out of touch with reality.

I moved from Sunderland to Bournemouth for uni and you wouldn't believe how many times i smile at people on the street and see their fight or flight engage

[juliemoses]

I’m an American who used to live in London . I used to amuse myself in the tube standing by the tube map waiting for the train. When a local would ask for directions, they would shrink in horror upon hearing my accent. 😱

[DaveyL]

I'm from Manchester originally and live in Yorkshire, Northern born and bred, and I love saying hello to people on the tube. The hatred that is returned is a pure delight. Once I was with a mate and he went absolutely ballistic after I'd said hello to someone in the Docklands Light Railway. It was so funny. Through clenched teeth he went bananas. Hilarious.

[Jaccayumitty]

I don't know why commenters are saying how well scripted this, and what good actors the children are.

It's a fly on the wall documentary.

Catherine Tate is a legend. One of the funniest comedians ever 😂😂

As a visiting doctor, I worked for the NHS between 2004 and 2008 from the suburbs of Sheffield initially to Oxford and Cambridge deaneries later on . I loved every minute of my interaction with the people in Sheffield !! Felt like they were family I mistook their genuine interaction as a sign that everyone in England were the same ! And then .... I headed more towards the south with work ! It was quite a shock initially but then, I knew how to get accustomed to their ways as well . In general, I loved every bit of England that I had seen .
