Mark's pretty middle class. But Jeremy, whether of that upbringing or not, lives a distinctly working class lifestyle IMO.
Working class sitcoms... Page 4
Not Bombay Saphire.
Yeah I see what you mean Aaron, but I think Jeremy's ultimately pretty middle class.
Remember that episode where he doesn't know what to say to the plumber?
Quote: Griff @ August 15 2008, 2:07 PM BSTI'm submitting just that to the Sitcom Trials today. Of course I know nothing about the underclass. They do all still drink gin, don't they?
They only have it on their cornflakes. Or whatever their equivalent cereal is. We should ask Julie Birchill, she knows all about them, doesn't she?
Auf Weidersehen Pet!

Helpfully, no. I don't. I've not watched the latest series. Was it in that?

And drink Tesco Saver cola. £1.49 for 2 x 2 litre bottles.

Mmm! Lard! And a nice bit of dripping.
Have enough of it and you'll argue with everybody.

Was it a sitcom?
Quote: Griff @ August 15 2008, 2:19 PM BSTOh I might pop into Tesco this weekend. You can't argue at that price really can you.
It's not worth 4p, let alone £1.49.
Actually, has anybody mentioned Benidorm on this thread? That's as working class as f**k, isn't it? Quite entertaining, broadly speaking, but with none of the genuine wit or insight as the Royle Family.
But far funnier.
Quote: Aaron @ August 15 2008, 2:31 PM BSTBut far funnier.
I give you a Big 'W' sign, that one that the very young use to say 'Whatever!' with. Must say, The Royle Family did go on for one series too many. The sentimentality in the later episodes had me running for the special hammer that smashes my telly.
I didn't like the ones where she started giving birth in the bathroom, or the dead nana one.
I liked the others though.
Except the fat ones dancing while they stripped the wallpaper.
But, the sitting around and talking was funny. Once you got into the rhythm of it.

That was spectacularly stomach churning.
