Synopsis
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., This book explores the collaborative sitcoms of two of British television's most well-known comedy writers.

- i***m (85)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe clarity of this VHS tape is superb. The seller packaged the tape securely. Not expecting Tracking to show sender as Stamps dot com, I had a couple minutes of worry as I was unaware that the USPS would make that reference. Looked it up, and saw the purpose of that site. Had me going there at first. The VHS tape is of superior quality in audio and color. It is great to be able to trust an eBay seller, and the cost worked for me. Thank you.
