Forgotten British Sitcoms of the 70s | The A-Z List

Описание: I'm heading deep into the archives to uncover some forgotten British sitcoms of the 1970s. From the short-lived curiosities that featured comedy legends before they were famous, to the ratings hits that have mysteriously slipped from our collective memory, I'm counting down an A–Z (well, an A–Y!) of the era’s most fascinating television failures and hidden treasures.

In this episode, I'm looking at:

The Rarities: See John Cleese and Willie Rushton take on Sherlock Holmes in a forgotten 1973 pilot.

The Stars: We revisit Richard Beckinsale in his final role, the poignant and bittersweet Bloomers.

The Missteps: Why did Michael Crawford struggle to move on from Frank Spencer in Chalk and Cheese?

The Classics: Re-live the "earthy" humour of Granada’s The Dustbinmen and the battleaxe brilliance of Peggy Mount.

Whether it’s the writing of Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke or the iconic performances of Diana Dors and Roy Kinnear, there is so much history buried in these one-series wonders and pilot episodes.

Did you watch these when they first aired? Or perhaps you’re discovering them here for the first time? I’d love to hear your memories of 70s British TV in the comments below!
