This book explores the collaborative sitcoms of two of British
television's most well-known comedy writers. Written over a period
of twenty-five years, the four series 'Dad's Army', 'It Ain't Half
Hot, Mum', 'Hi-de-Hi!' and 'You Rang M'Lord?' have endured as
much-loved and often-repeated classics. The book explores the
themes of Perry and Croft's writing in terms of their own
biography, and as articulations of British cultural and televisual
history. Focusing on issues central to the concept of identity in
British culture, class, gender, sexuality and race and analysing
individual episodes and scenes in the four series, 'Jimmy Perry and
David Croft' evaluates the contributions made by these two writers
to the genre of situation comedy, and locates the programmes in the
immediate contexts of their production. Including new interview
material from David Croft, this book will be invaluable to students
and lecturers of television studies and cultural studies. -- .
