British romcoms in minutes

The humour is dry and the settings are very London: candlelit restaurants, black cabs, an ice rink at Christmas and a café where a crime boss would rather finish his tea. The heroines talk back, the heroes are calm and quietly amused, and nobody wins an argument for long.

Begin with The Wrong Date, in which Emma sits down opposite the wrong man and he decides not to correct her. Table Four is a 90s blind date rescued by the gentleman at the next table. Accidentally in Love with a Prince and My Frog Prince make the fairy tale funny, Tea, Thieves & Two Sugars is a crime caper with an old flame, and Falling for the Christmas Stranger, Meet Me on the Ice and Bloody Lovely are made for the cosy, spooky end of the year.

Episodes run about 30 seconds to 2 minutes, so a whole story fits into a bus ride. Viewers must be 18 or over to use LOVBIRD.
