Documentary exploring how sitcoms responded to the sexual revolution, exploring frustration as a recurring theme, the changing role of women and the British love of innuendo. The programme also considers the changing language of the genre, and contrasts the nation’s comedy with that of America. Featuring contributions from Leslie Phillips (Casanova 73), Wendy Craig (Butterflies), and Lesley Joseph (Birds of a Feather).
