Bodyguard
A modern show with a gripping plot and a lot of language to enjoy. This show offers a mix of casual and formal British English, giving you a taste of how language is used in a high-pressure environment.
Downton Abbey
We had to include this classic that allows you to immerse yourself in the language of early 20th-century Britain. The show's diverse cast is a great way to learn different accents and styles of speaking, from posh to what you might call down-to-earth.
Love is Blind UK
This reality show offers a fascinating insight into the informal side of British English. It's full of slang, informal phrases and regional accents, making it a great way to understand how British people really communicate.
Peaky Blinders
If you want to challenge your ear, this show's strong Brummie (= from Birmingham) accent is a great way to do it. Set in the rough streets of Birmingham, it is a fantastic way to experience a more tough and raw side of British English.
