From faded rock gods to provincial paper merchants, Britain practically invented the art of the fake documentary. But which one truly deserves the crown?
Put the items in your preferred order.

The Office (UK)
Ricky Gervais turned a Berkshire paper company into a global phenomenon. Tim and Dawn's tea-room glances still hit harder than most romance films.

This Is Spinal Tap
Technically American-directed but gloriously skewering British rock excess. The Stonehenge scene remains a masterclass in idiotic grandeur.

People Just Do Nothing
The Brentford pirate radio crew who genuinely believed they were going to make it. Painfully accurate to anyone who's met a bloke called MC something.

Come Fly With Me
Divisive now, but the budget airline parody had moments of genuine genius. Taaj at the security gate is still quoted in every Wetherspoons.

Cunk on Earth
Diane Morgan's deadpan idiot-genius dragging historians into existential despair about Belgium. The Pump Up The Jam bit alone earns its spot.
