Blandings

Right now you can watch Blandings in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 17 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Timothy Spall is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Start it on BINGE whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Blandings keeps coming up in conversation. Blandings gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Blandings is a British comedy television series adapted by Guy Andrews from the Blandings Castle stories of P.G. Wodehouse. It was first broadcast on BBC One from 13 January 2013, and stars Timothy Spall, Jennifer Saunders and Mark Williams. Timothy Spall and Jennifer Saunders lead a cast that never overplays a joke. 2 seasons (2013–2014) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Blandings holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Blandings. Leave It to Beaver is the obvious comparison, but Blandings earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Timothy Spall anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Blandings wrapped up in 2014, created by P.G. Wodehouse — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
