Further details
Starting with his own sitcom experience, and how hard an artform it is to master, Bradley, and a cast of top sitcom stars, seek out the secrets of success for the British classics including Steptoe And Son, The Liver Birds, Hi-De-Hi!, The Young Ones, Gavin & Stacey, 'Allo 'Allo!, Dad's Army and Absolutely Fabulous. He asks what makes a sitcom successful? Why do some shows keep us laughing for years?
Bradley will also reveal the classic moments which changed comedy forever and how the key to a successful sitcom is when it captures the mood of a nation. This is Bradley's nostalgic homage to some of Britain's most loved sitcoms, full of great comedy clips and insight from those who starred in them.
