S02 E06 - The Bed Sitting Room (1969)

Over halfway through series two of Britcom Goes to the Movies we’re back to the 1960s....and the 50s as we look at Spike Milliagn, the Goon Show, and the Post-Apocalyptic surreal comedy The Bed Sitting Room. This is the first of our episodes in which we look at a radio show as our source material (if you don’t include Hancock’s Half Hour for The Rebel in series one).   This film contains two of the three (or is it four) Goons as well as a plethora of British comedy talent of the time. Many of whom we’ve seen appear in previous episodes, including Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Frank Thornton, and of course Arthur Lowe, who is the Britcom Goes to the Movies record appearance maker so far. In a series and a half, Rob and Guy have been fairly united on their approval or disapproval of a film, but this time there is some serious disagreement. What will this mean for the rankings and could the non-believer yet be brought round to reform his opinion? All the while, the quiz scores are delicately poised with Rob having a one-point lead. Join us for episode six.
