Working class sitcoms... Page 3

With the Rolls slowly crunching up the three-mile long gravel drive. ;)

Upper class people don't own televisions or watch sitcoms. They have a box at the opera.

Apparently the Queen has a royal box at Buckingham Palace to watch Eastenders from.

I really don't want to hear about the Queen's royal box. Not when I am having my cornflakes.

It can 4 royals and 6 flunkies at once.

She once let Tony Blair sit in it.

I would.

Cornflakes at 1pm? What benefits are you on?

Oh yes, it is.

Erm...

Lee Mack's working class, does that mean Not Going Out is directed at them? Even though it's in an extreeemely middle class apartment.

Ok you managed to disturb me, I think there's a prize for that.

Well I crunch them up so I can get more in the bowl and a thicker kind of taste sensation.

I think it could be argued to be, yes. Because it's a northern working class-y type, type, showing that he can better himself and that.

Peep Show's an interesting one. It's half working and half middle. But whole freaking weird.

There's that sitcom starting next week, 'The Cup'. That's about football. That's still fairly working class, innit? What we really need is a sitcom about the underclasses, something that takes a wry look at urban violence. I'm sure one of the many writers on this site could knock out something appropriate.

That's interesting. How so? I think of it as pretty universal, though Mark and Jeremy as so middle-class. Even Super Hans could be a mockney.
