π₯ New Episode Hancock's Half Hour π₯
We talk about the brilliance of Hancockβs acting and the deftness of Galton and Simpsonβs writing paved the way for comedy borne of character and situation not wordplay and silliness.

Thanks for watching/listening. Tom is a huge Dr Who fan, like HUGE. I'm also surprised it didn't come up. π - Abigoliah
We did an interesting episode on The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
Tom says it's a great sitcom that's been left out of the public conversation.
Abigoliah found the show unsettling.
I'm curious what your thoughts are.
Check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
Agreed!
In our latest episode of All British Comedy Explained we have a great conversation with David Tennant all about The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts. And maybe give us a 5β review. It helps others find the podcast. π©΅
We normally try & chat with someone who was involved in the making of the show we're watching, but very nearly everyone who worked on THE FALL & RISE OF REGINALD PERRIN has passed. So we've made do with popular actor and comedy fan David Tennant. Hope that's okay. π₯°
We've made a pretty banging episode about The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin imo.
It's a 1970's sitcom you don't hear much about nowadays.
I'm curious if any of you remember it? What do you think of Reggie Perrin?
Also, yes, please listen to the podcast.π
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin EXPLAINED π
This is definitely one of the weirder offerings to go out on the BBC in the mid-1970s, but the prevalence of easily-remembered catchphrases would have no doubt helped it catch on.
