Till Death Us Do Part (Christmas special) 43:43

för 14 weeks sedan43:43

43:43

For this year's christmas special we are venturing back to the Garnett household in 1966 where the family are upholding all the christmas traditions such as falling out and throwing stuff at the wall.

Ghosts (Part 2) 53:22

för 15 weeks sedan53:22

53:22

Part 2 of our look at Ghosts, which we're classing as very recent history in the world of sitcom. This week we are taking a look at some more of the actors such as Simon Farnaby and (spoiler alert) going all the way to the end and discussing how they closed it all off. This is the end of our regular series for now but there will be a Christmas special next week so enjoy!…

Ghosts (Part 1) 50:28

för 16 weeks sedan50:28

50:28

This week we are doing our most recent sitcom yet with Ghosts. They officially closed off the series with a christmas special in 2023 so now is our chance to look back at what is arguably one of the best mainstream sitcoms of the last twenty years.

The Other One (Part 2) 47:31

Part 2 of our look at The Other one in which we delve into the very odd second series and have a closer look at the comedy career of Michael Gambon.

The Other One (Part 1) 47:36

för 18 weeks sedan47:36

47:36

Thanks to a listener poll, this week we are taking on the relatively obscure seventies sitcom The Other One. Richard Briers teams up once again with the writers Esmonde and Larbey in the immediate aftermath of their biggest hit, The Good Life. Michael Gambon makes a relatively rare sitcom appearance to make up the odd couple who meet and become friends on a package holiday to Spain. This is a fascinating show that has a weird second series so there's plenty to talk about!…

Phoenix Nights (Part 2) 50:46

för 19 weeks sedan50:46

50:46

Part 2 of our breakdown of Phoenix Nights as we continue to struggle with the urge to quote every single line. We do love it so but we take time to look at the further careers of writers Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice as well as asking the question: Peter Kay - git?

Phoenix Nights (Part 1) 53:04

för 20 weeks sedan53:04

53:04

Part 1 of our take on Phoenix Nights, a personal favourite for both of us so prepare yourself for some nostalgia and laughter but also we try and take an in-depth and completely speculative look at the psychology of Peter Kay.

Desmond's (Part 2) 50:17

för 21 weeks sedan50:17

Part 2 of our look at Desmond's and this week we get up close and personal with the writer and creator Trix Worrell and of course we take a look at the (lesser) sequel/spin-off, Porkpie.

Desmond's (Part 1) 51:43

för 22 weeks sedan51:43

51:43

Desmond's was the culmination of a big push in the 80s (mostly by Channel 4) to have wider cultural and racial representation on TV. But this was no box ticking exercise; at its heart it is a down-the-line family sitcom but it does it oh so well. Norman Beaton, Carmen Munroe, Rom John Holder; these were performers at the top of their game captured in a perfect recipe for comedy.…

Whoops Apocalypse (Part 2) 47:50

för 23 weeks sedan47:50

47:50

Part 2 of our look at Whoops Apocalypse takes us to the White House and the Kremlin and we also take a look at the film version of the same idea (but it's not a spin-off). We also take a closer look at Richard Griffiths and find out he's not quite what we expected.

Whoops Apocalypse (Part 1) 50:21

för 24 weeks sedan50:21

50:21

Today we go back to the eighties and Cold War paranoia with the relatively obscure Whoops Apocalypse. More interesting for its position in the history of comedy than for its actual content, could this show be the glue between the sixties satire boom and the alternative comedy of the eighties?

Keeping Up Appearances (Part 2) 50:29

Part 2 of our look at Keeping Up Appearances and we do our best not to be too negative!

Keeping Up Appearances (Part 1) 53:15

för 26 weeks sedan53:15

53:15

Maybe it's just our age but it feels like Keeping Up Appearances was almost ever present when we were growing up. But how does it hold up in the cold light of day? Could it be a timeless classic or is Hyacinth Bucket a true britcom villain?

Fawlty Towers - The Play (a review) 19:19

för 46 weeks sedan19:19

19:19

Allen went to the opening night of the brand new West End show Fawlty Towers - The Play and gives us his totally objective review. Is it going to be the sitcom successor to the Only Fools and Horses Musical and take theatreland by storm? Or is it a lazy cash grab from John Cleese?

Red Dwarf USA 27:03

för 1 year sedan27:03

27:03

We recently looked at the peak years of Red Dwarf, a show that was so good that even the Americans had a go at it. There were two attempts (more like one and a half) at pilots for a US series and footage has unofficially leaked out. So let's have a look at them!
