Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 6th September 2011British sitcoms salute the labour force
Since the beginning of time, well, at least since 1946 when Pinwright's Progress premiered on the BBC, the British sitcom has always saluted the labor force. After Pinwright's Progress, the evolution of how the situation comedy dealt with the workforce really took off. Up next in the mid-50's was Hancock's Half Hour where Tony Hancock seemed to change jobs every episode.
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 5th September 2011Red Dwarf S10 nearer the horizon
As we begin to gear up for the upcoming new set of Red Dwarf, which films November 2011 - February 2012, a completely light-hearted twitter war between cast members has erupted.
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 3rd September 2011BBC TV themes by Ronnie Hazlehurst
Following Monday's sad news of the untimely passing of producer/director, John Howard Davies, it started me thinking more about some of the individuals that have been a part of all of our British comedy lives for decades that we aren't even aware of.

Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 23rd August 2011Jane Horrocks trades Tesco for Valco in Trollied
Trollied. Check it out tonight on Sky1 HD. Definitely one to keep an eye on and then think about it the next time you're in a supermarket no matter where you are and see just how close life comes to imitating art and vice versa.

Should you find yourself in need of a new British comedy fix, hope over to Hulu and check out Whites, starring Alan Davies, Darren Boyd and Katherine Parkinson.
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 25th July 2011The Office UK - Happy 10th!
Somehow, I had the strange feeling as I was beginning to write this that I was starting the lyrics to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (you know, "It was 20 years ago today that Sgt Pepper taught the band to play..."). OK, not quite, but it WAS 10 years ago today that the world (well, the UK, anyway) was introduced to the world of David Brent and the day-to-day lives of the employees in the Slough, Berkshire branch of the Wernham Hogg Paper Company.
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 9th July 2011Hugh Laurie channels his 'inner-model'
In trying to leave politics out of it from the endorsement of cosmetics vs. a support of a ban on cosmetic testing discussion, this is just a really funny clip that you would least expect to see from the likes of Dr. Gregory House, Bertie Wooster or Prince George.
