I had some very bored summers as a child. And that was pre-internet. The suburbs are not designed for teenagers – is anywhere? – and there’s only so much adolescent angst that mini-golf and Top Trumps can cure. Occasionally, a friend and I would prank-call strangers. We’d pretend to be deaf Latvians, jilted lovers, that sort of thing. So I have tremendous sympathy for Kerry and Kurtan, the adolescent heroes of BBC Three’s hilarious This Country (BBC iPlayer). They live in one of those villages in the sticks that you occasionally drive through and think aloud: “I bet it sucks to be young round here.” But you’d be wrong! There’s the annual scarecrow-making contest. And, er, well … there’s the annual scarecrow-making contest. In between making scarecrows (which, to be fair, are very good), Kerry and Kurtan lighten the duller moments by pursuing feuds with 11-year-olds, trying to escape work and wreaking vengeance on enemies with a terrifying ritual of vandalism known as “plumming” (they throw plums at your house).
