EBritcoms FAQE is a sweeping survey of the very best in British television comedy from the early days of 1950s television and the rise of Tony Hancock through the golden age of EMonty PythonE EAre You Being Served?E and ESteptoe and SonE a featuring the madcap comic geniuses of the 1980s a to the modern age of EAbsolutely FabulousE ECouplingE ERed DwarfE and more.THWritten with both a deep love and cultural understanding of the shows highlighting the finest performances and resurrecting the greatest jokes EBritcoms FAQE also visits the medium's transition from radio to television its history on vinyl and compact disc and its thematic shift from straight-forward humor to a sometimes biting force for political and social commentary.THIncluded are chapters spotlighting the sitcoms' fascination with dysfunctional families their rebellion against conventional society and the changing face of the media itself. The legacy of Monty Python is explored in depth but so are such themes as class warfare censorship and even suicide. Britcoms long ago determined that very little is sacred when there's laughter to be had a and EBritcoms FAQE proves it!
