British Sitcom History Podcast

It's Part 2 of our look at The Inbetweeners and this week we conclude our review of the episode "The Field Trip" and see what the actors have been doing since the show ended.

To round out series 2, we're taking on a modern classic. The Inbetweeners seemed to speak to every 6th former in the country and spawned new catchphrases with every episode. But does it still hold up after ten years?

In part 2 of our look at Sorry! we continue our analysis of an episode and take a look at the other actors as well as a sitcom spotlight on Ronnie Hazlehurst.

This week we take on eighties Ronnie Corbett vehicle Sorry! We do a big old biography section on Corbett himself and try to work out if Phyllis Lumsden is the most horrific villain in sitcom history.

It's part 2 of our look at classic sixties sitcom The Rag Trade and this week we delve into the career of Reg Varney and evaluate the LWT remake from the seventies.

We're going all the way back to the early sixties this week to look at the original incarnation of The Rag Trade starring Miriam Karlin and Sheila Hancock with Reg Varney.

It's Part 2 of our look at the first three series of Only Fools and Horses and this time we'll be looking at the early years of Nicholas Lyndhurst and continuing our dissection of The Long Legs of the Law.

In part 2 of our look at The Thin Blue Line, we continue our analysis of the show itself but also put Ben Elton on trial. Has he sold out or is working with Andrew Lloyd Webber not so bad?

This week we take a look at the Rowan Atkinson sitcom The Thin Blue Line. Made in the mid-nineties, the show is certainly fixed in its time and place but is writer Ben Elton also harking back to a different era?
