Private Notes
From a starting point of the contemporary Men Behaving Badly, Laughter In The House explores the early days of British television sitcom, from its roots in radio, music hall, and American influences.
Exploring the change in culture - and its reflection in sitcom - in the 1970s, Laughter In The House looks into shows such as Fawlty Towers, The Good Life, Love Thy Neighbour, and Man About The House.
Yes Minister kicked off the 1980s, with series like The Young Ones and Blackadder taking up the 'alternative comedy' mantle from the stand-up circuit: this episode examines them and their leading of sitcom into the 1990s, right back round to Men Behaving Badly.
