No
self respecting fan of any TV comedy should be without this
wonderfully researched book by Mark Lewisohn. Over 800 pages
of facts covering every comedy show broadcast on British
Television from its inception in 1936 through till 1998.
(OK, maybe it needs an updated version now, but its still
a great reference book!).
Every type of programme - sitcoms, standups, sketch shows,
serials and satire is listed. There is also a useful index
listing each programme and one for all the actors and participants.
Dad's Army, of course, is listed, but it is also
great for all television comedy buffs.
Don't
be without it!
