07 05 So What Now?

Lee Evans falls over in some funny ways during the 00s. If you're reading this, its possibly the last episode of Shitcom we're doing. Thanks for listening, it really means a lot to us.

The video of this was pretty sketchy at best. David Jason was in this I think?

Chelmsford 123

It's the final episode of the series, Jones is hungover, Mark gets annoyed and Wood remains a constant. Rory McGrath & Jimmy Mulville star in this unexpectedly enjoyable finish to our series. In a change to the formula, Mark edited this episode. With 110 minutes of recording to work with for this one episode, apologies for the weird cuts.

Health & Efficiency

When you go to a Toby Carvery you'll likely pile your plate up with every food imaginable to make what you'd consider 'the ultimate roast'. This analogy does not apply to Health & Efficiency. This is the story of the guy from 2point4 Children who left Lynn from Alan Partridge at the alter while the Scouser from Goodnight Sweetheart panics in the face of being a doctor as Trigger from Only Fools & Horses plays a mean surgeon. A smorgasbord of delights.

To The Manor Born

Episode 0604 and we’re watching To The Manor Born. It’s a brand new day of recording as we make our day into the second half of the series. The lads are on top form, with Fanta Zero and Pretzels at the ready. We’re as prepared as we’ll ever be. We went into this sitcom not knowing too much about it, other than the premise. We’d assumed it was your classic posh meets rough n’ ready in a culture clash that inevitably leads to love. With the furious banging left out due to pre-watershed complaints. What we got was something different. Did Roald Dahl write everything in the same universe? How old is Keith? And can Mark keep it together after experiencing the trippy village church clock. . #podcast #podcasting #spotify #podcasts #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcaster #youtube #comedy #itunes #podcasters #applepodcasts #podcastshow #newpodcast #spotifypodcast #applepodcast #repost #shitcom #sitcom #comedy #tv #tvseries #funny #sitcoms #series #classictv #television #tvshows #new

A Prince Among Men

Chris Barrie plays an ex-footballer turned entrepreneur. If you're familiar with his work, you'll know what to expect. We made the mistake of recording this in the same day as the other two episodes, so at this point, we're very tired (Again, average 5 hours sleep between us). Expect podcasting at its finest.

Queenie’s Castle

Episode 0602 and we’re watching Queenie’s Castle. Two hours in to a day of recording and we’re feeling it. Thankfully, Diana Dors did us proud, surprising us with one of the better sitcoms we’ve seen to date. Queenie Shepherd (Diana Dors) plays the titular character, matriarch to her family of a bunch of wrong’uns. Forever scheming and disliked by literally everyone on her estate, the charismatic Dors turns saves her family from eviction. Was Donald Duck really in the Navy? Did Diana Dors see a monkey die? Can you kill a person with a loaf of bread? . #podcast #podcasting #spotify #podcasts #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcaster #youtube #comedy #itunes #podcasters #applepodcasts #podcastshow #newpodcast #spotifypodcast #applepodcast #repost #shitcom #sitcom #comedy #tv #tvseries #funny #sitcoms #series #classictv #television #tvshows #new

The Dustbinmen

Episode 0601 and we’re watching The Dustbinmen. Our first podcast since Covid and averaging 5 hours sleep between us, we sat through the premiere (aka Debut) episode of this classic from ’69 (nice). With the main characters names Cheese and Egg, Heavy Breathing, Winston Platt and Eric, we knew before going in this was going to be an absolute treat. Is Mr. Sheen really the Rad Baron? Just how close do you need to drive to a bin van to catch the smell? Which Thunderbird is which? All these questions and more get discussed to zero conclusion.
