10 Most Quotable British TV Shows

8. Love Island

Peep Show
ITV2

Love it or hate it, in the past five years Love Island has become of the most popular British reality TV shows on air. It usually feels like as soon as the weather begins to get hotter in the UK all you can hear about is what happened on Love Island. While you could class it as a game show, its catchphrases and quotes aren't scripted. (At least that's what ITV tells us.)

The fascinating thing about Love Island is even if you don't watch it you're sure to pick up a few pieces here and there as people discuss everything the Islanders said and did almost day. Each week is a different range of quotes and sayings that are quickly shared and stuck onto merchandise.

It's almost like some sort of catchphrase/quote tournament, as only the most memorable ones end up sticking in the public consciousness past a few weeks. The most prevalent one seems to be "I've got a text!", most likely as at least one of the Islanders will shout it out at some point during every episode.
