BBC Three sitcom Bad Education is to return to screens for a fifth series.
British Comedy Guide, 24th May 2023Has TV given up on working-class comedy?
So she's right basically, Caitlin Moran is right. So are the 3,000 people that have backed a third series of Raised By Wolves after it was axed from Channel 4. They haven't backed it because it's a perfect show, but because that's what a lot of people want. They want to write, act, film and be a part of working class comedy as well as just watch it - people want to see more variation in comedy and that includes shows that don't just focus on the same thing that a lot of TV focuses on. We've made progress sure but it's still progress and we've still got a long way to go.
Ava Pickett, Funny Women, 21st November 2016The itch left by Fleabag
I am exhausted of explaining why Fleabag is not enough, why Girls isn't enough. I, as a young woman, am hungry for more. I am starving for something more to chew on, to watch television that reflects what it's like to be struggling in a way that doesn't involve nicking a bottle of wine and masturbating to Obama. I want to see the comedy in the truly difficult things that women face today and to find the relief in it.
