British Sitcom History Podcast

Today we take a look at PhoneShop, something of a cult favourite, and certainly a favourite of Gareth, who spent much of his working life rising through the ranks at Carphone Warehouse. We investigate the shows roots in the depths of E4, look at the writer/producer Phil Bowker and find out why Javone Prince and Andrew Brooke have such good chemistry.

Here at Britcompod, we are ardent Ghosts fans so we were in the cinema on opening night for the new film, Ghosts: The Possession of Button House. This is a pretty quick review with no spoilers but basically we loved it!

You can't talk about Only Fools and Horses without getting stuck in to one of the many christmas specials. We've chosen a fan favourite in To Hull and Back, which involves our boys getting involved with diamond smuggling. We also take a closer look at the career of John Challis.

This week we delve further into series 4 and 5 of Only Fools and Horses as well as everybody's least favourite special, A Royal Flush. We also take a closer look at some of the major supporting characters like Trigger and Mickey Pearce.

We are back in Peckham! Having previously looked at the "Grandad Years", now we take on Uncle Albert and some of the other players who are starting to populate the world of Del and Rodney. Are these the peak years of Only Fools and Horses?
