'This collection of essays provides an excellent review of the development of British situation comedy from the 1950s to the present day. It shows in a range of ways how British social and cultural history has been refracted through this distinctive media genre, focusing on such themes as the representation of social class, gender, age and ethnicity, the politics of humour, and the operative process of seriality. The book makes a fine contribution to the study of humour and comedy.' - Michael Pickering, Loughborough University, UK 'British TV Comedy covers all the key material, including the conventions of the genre as well as the contexts of production and the public controversies, taking the reader on an academic journey from Hancock's Half Hour to Little Britain. The book is essential reading for anyone serious about British television comedy.' John Storey, University of Sunderland, UK
