Sitcoms They Never Should Have Made
from You Have Been Watching: A British Sitcom Podcast · host Film Stories
Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST! In this episode of You Have Been Watching, hostsw A. J. Black and Robert Turnbull join forces to attack a topic they've looked forward to for a while - assembling six British sitcoms (or rather, shitcoms) they never should have made. They wade through Heil Honey I'm Home!, Sam's Game, Curry and Chips, Slinger's Day, Bottle Boys and finally (cheating slightly) Come Fly With Me, examining how across 40 years of sitcoms some of these shows are allowed to be made, in what context, and without trying too hard to bury them under cultural recency bias, figure out whether they have any artistic merit all these years on... NOTE: While no problematic language is used in this episode, we do discuss topics which might be considered triggering at some points. Exercise caution when listening. But don't blame us if you don't! Host/Editor A. J.
