The Top 10 British sitcoms of the 90s

The 1990s were a period of renewed confidence in the UK. The economy continued to boom and Blair's huge majority made 'Cool Britannia' a phenomenon. Oasis and Blur fought it out as most influential band, and the Spice Girls were everywhere. What a time to be alive! Sitcoms didn't disappoint either, and offered a rich variety.

BBC Comedy Sitcom Signature Tunes

There is one element in the sitcom which is overlooked - the signature tune. Evocative 30 second sequences of tightly-composed music which set the tone for the half-hour which follows. Without you realising it, that signature tune embeds itself in your psyche. From now until the end of your life, that tune will be a shortcut to the time when that sitcom made the first and greatest impact on you.

BBC would never make Gimme Gimme Gimme now says writer

"They can't be that risky. The climate changed. There's less space to try out something a bit different"

Danger and sarcasm are the driving forces behind BBC2's grotesquely funny (and grotesquely underrated) Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Gimme Gimme Gimme (BBC2, Friday) is a new sitcom by Jonathan Harvey starring two first-class performers, the award-winning Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus [...] It's early days yet, and I would venture to say that the lead characters need to settle down in their relationship. Some of the bashing and whacking each other is a bit frenzied and unconvincing. But there were lots of good bits: I liked their inability to resist getting drunk in the middle of the afternoon (I hope that's a runner) and playing silly kiddy games, like pretending to be in Casualty and The Bill.
