A NEW BBC3 sitcom has launched this week, and was all filmed in Northleach.

This Country is a mockumentary exploring the lives of young people in modern rural Britain, focusing on cousins Kerry and Lee ‘Kurtan’ Mucklowe who live in a fictional Cotswold village.

Stars Charlie and Daisy May Cooper also created and wrote the show for the BBC’s online channel, which in the past has launched the likes of Gavin & Stacey, The Mighty Boosh, Being Human and Him + Her.

The first episode ‘Scarecrow’ aired on Wednesday on BBC iPlayer, with the full six-part series also available on BBC Previews.

The comedy also stars Paul Chahidi, Michael Sleggs and Ivy Woodcock.
