Following John's epic audio essay theorising that many sitcoms owe their format to Steptoe & Son, Luke pitches John some 90s sitcoms that fit this mould.

Cracking TV is produced and presented by Luke Sluman and John Furlong.

Our rather marvellous theme tune was written and performed by Simon McInerney.

Additional sound effects from zapsplat.com.
