Archer really thought he was Francis Urquhart but he wasn’t even Sir Mortimer Chris.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

In a few weeks we'll be launching our new podcast where we look at British sitcoms using their 9th episode as the starting point. A curious conceit perhaps, but by the 9th episode of any sitcom the 'sit' is generally established and the 'com' should have bedded in. Well that's the theory anyway!

GPFC: BRITISH SITCOM FILMS www.patreon.com/GoonPod/post... The British sitcom film was often derided as a cheap soulless cash-in: bolt together a few episodes, herd together the cast, add some nice locations, maybe a swear or two (or boobs), and job's a good'un. We mount the case for the defence.

How come when Yogi Bear does it, it's hilarious but when I steal a family's picnic basket wearing only a hat and tie, the police have to get involved?

The Are You Being Served film (1977) is *fine* but it helped perpetuate that lazy canard that almost all British sitcom movie plots involved the characters going on holiday abroad, encountering dubious foreign types and terrible plumbing

No Goon Pod tomorrow as for the foreseeable the show will be running fortnightly. It gives the podcast (and me) a bit of breathing space and also allows me to launch the new monthly show next month - Episode Number Nine - while still finding to find time to eat, sleep and spend time with my family

Very sad to hear of the death of Stephanie Cole. From her winning sitcom work in Open All Hours and Waiting For God (and not forgetting Cabin Pressure on the radio) through serious roles in the likes of Tenko, she was always a joy to watch and ALWAYS had the last word!

So sad to hear about Richard O'Sullivan. Such a talent and brilliant as Robin in Man About The House, my favourite sitcom of all time. He did so much more besides, and was a reliably warm and witty presence in everything he turned up in
