This celebratory survey of British comedy TV series from expat Brit Thompson (The Twilight Zone FAQ) kicks off by praising Fawlty Towers progenitor Tony Hancock, whose 1950s Hancock's Half-Hour is, according to Thompson, "the great British sitcom of all time," then proceeds with thematic chapters extolling the particular and peculiar charms of The Vicar of Dibley, The Last of the Summer Wine, and many more. Various appendixes (recommended viewing/audio recordings lists, sitcom-to-screen adaptations, etc.) are included.
VERDICT Provides trivia and amusement aplenty for Anglophile comedy aficionados.
