Americans strive for perfection while Britons distrust perfection, you see it in everything from movies to commercials to TV shows. If we did a show like Ugly Betty we'd find an actor that suited the title role instead of taking someone as beautiful as America Ferrera and saying "Here, wear these glasses - they'll make you less attractive." Compare the major soap operas of both nations, you have the wealthy, middle class families of Days of Our Lives versus the skint, working class families of Eastenders - everyday Americans don't like to be reminded of where they are while everyday Brits don't like to be reminded of where they are not.

Ask Hugh Grant about it.

For non Brits (per Wikipedia): Dogging is a British English slang term for engaging in sexual acts in a public or semi-public place or watching others doing so.[1] There may be more than two participants; both group sex and gang banging can be included. As observation is encouraged, voyeurism and exhibitionism are closely associated with dogging. The two sets of people involved often meet either randomly or (increasingly) arrange to meet up beforehand over the Internet.[2]

There is something perfect about that clip, the sofa, the interaction. Capturing each guest at their best. Just as 2 friends you introduce bring out the very worst in one another, this vignette captures a moment where the sum IS greater than the parts. Graham genuinely laughing, Kate genuinely laughing (and isn't she a lovely inconparable drug when she does), Russell being the genius he is and Tiny coming across as fun and decent yet still v cool and rooted in the real world. A sofa full of balanced real world celebrities. Kate is Kate, she's magical. The others are simply British and Irish. Wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Alive, inquisitive, egos exposed to ridicule and, ultimately, great to be around as a result. I watched it twice in a row because it was so refreshing and, unusually based on its premise, life-affirming.

Dogging… I used to actually think that meant walking my dog late at night [the one in my avatar, she loved just going around the block off lead and weeing outside all her friends places, before I got ready for bed]. When I found out …😳 (and then I reflected back on all the other dog owners I knew who had smirked when I discussed late night dog walks - in retrospect they were going _"nobody tell him"_ to each other). Still, originally came from a small country town and my older brother thought gay meant happy. He joined _the gay society_ first day at uni. 10 minutes later he left _the gay society._ I'm just relieved there wasn't a official local dogging club I could join.
