Lost Sitcoms announce Steptoe & Son, Alf Garnett and Hancock casts

BBC Four has announced the casting for The Lost Sitcoms. Jeff Rawle and Ed Coleman will star in Steptoe And Son, whilst Simon Day will play Alf Garnett.

British Comedy Guide, 29th March 2016

Pitched somewhere between E4's Skins and the Beeb's Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, this sitcom, written by teenager Tim Dawson, clearly has the youth demographic in mind.

It's set in and around a sixth-form college in Oxfordshire, with an exclusively youthful cast (even the teacher, played by Ed Coleman, can be hardly out of his twenties) and plotlines involving stolen coursework, romantic mishaps and sex.

Crudeness abounds - She's big, she's fat and she's minging: she'd obviously be well up for it! is a representative sample - but neither wit nor charm has tagged along for the ride.

Pete Naughton, The Telegraph, 30th September 2008
