What if Basil Fawlty ran your customer service helpline?
What if Mr Bean was stuck in your hybrid meeting?
What if Darth Vader had to queue in the rain at Waitrose?
In Very British Problems: How the World's Favourite Characters Survive Britain, some of the most iconic characters from film, TV, books and comics are dropped straight into the glorious chaos of modern British life.
From Basil Fawlty, David Brent and Blackadder to Darth Vader, Yoda, Sherlock Holmes and the Sorting Hat, this sharp, witty and very British collection shows how the world's best-known heroes, villains and legends cope with our unique national quirks: endless queues, broken trains, eye-watering energy bills, passive-aggressive small talk, parish council meetings, and the eternal generational housing crisis.
Funny, nostalgic and painfully relatable, this first volume is perfect for anyone who's ever muttered I don't believe it!, Don't panic!, Ah, for the love of God... or simply clutched a towel while waiting for the next delayed train.
If you love British comedy, pop culture satire and laughing at the everyday absurdities of life in Britain, this book is for you.
