RELATIVELY SCARY

Daisy May and Charlie Cooper are reunited on screen scoping out the nation's most haunted spots. It's such a delight spending time with this pair
-
Daisy May and Charlie Cooper are indisputably the funniest sibling double act around.
Their breakout mockumentary This Country, which aired on BBC Three from 2017 to 2020, was a deadpan joy, following cousins Kerry (played by Daisy May) and Kurtan (Charlie) as they meandered aimlessly around their tiny Cotswolds village, squabbling, trading jibes and eagerly anticipating the next scarecrow festival.
It's taken five years for the pair to work together again (bar Charlie's brief cameo in his sister's pitch-black comedy Am I Being Unreasonable?, another brilliant watch), and their big reunion project is something of a curveball for viewers. The Coopers grew up fascinated by the paranormal, an obsession fuelled by the age-inappropriate scary movies they watched together. Their new BBC Two show Nightwatch allows them to indulge in this passion, as they travel up and down the UK to “stay in some of this country's most haunted places” overnight.
