We love sitcoms. Particularly classic British sitcoms of the 1970s and 1980s. They remind us of our happy childhoods, watching television with our families in the evenings, back when choice was limited to just three or four channels. Now – 30 or 40 years later – we still love to watch classic sitcoms like Rising Damp, Fawlty Towers, Porridge and more: it’s like going to visit an old friend with whom you immediately feel relaxed and comfortable. Starting with The Good Life (Good Neighbors to American audiences), we&#39;ll be taking a weekly deep dive into every single episode ever made of our favourite childhood sitcoms: examining the humour, characters, fashions and cringey bits together. Join us at saddo.club to get involved!

S01E09 - Pooing Out Carrots

When Jerry and Margo take a holiday to Keyyyyyna, Tom and Barbara find themselves fighting an uphill battle to keep on top of the crops. Things go from bad to worse when the Karma Fairy strikes Tom down in anger, leaving him immobile and needing a doctor to come and undo his belt buckle. How will The Goods cope when a storm looks like it has destroyed their harvest, especially without Jerry around to be cajoled into helping? Will invoking the &#39;spirit of the blitz&#39; prove to be the Good&#39;s salvation, just like it has proven in Brexit Britain? Most importantly - will the end credits go fully Hi De Hi from here on out? #saddo #goodlife Check out the corresponding show notes page at <a href="https://saddo.club/s01e08/thank-you-very-much-tom---goodbye!" rel="nofollow">https://saddo.club</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations'>https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations</a>

When Jerry settles down for an evening of piece and quiet with a tasty Ruby Murray and a copy of Razzle, Tom decides to spoil his fun. Meanwhile, Barbara is going off like a bottle of pop every 30 seconds. It&#39;s a good job Margo has Miss Mountshaft and the Music Society to distract her from the chaos! #goodlife #SADDO Check out the corresponding show notes page at <a href="https://saddo.club/s01e07-70s-takeaways" rel="nofollow">https://saddo.club</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations'>https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations</a>

When Tom decides to capture a gimp and keep him in the cellar to pedal his electricity generator, Jerry gets jealous boots.  If he and Margo could give up their electric toothbrush / vibrator, perhaps they could save some money on the lecky? Later, Tom goes fishing with Jerry, taking a well deserved break from being the UK&#39;s leading anarchist. #saddo #goodlife Check out the corresponding show notes page at <a href="https://saddo.club/s01e06-tom-the-unmitigated-scoundrel" rel="nofollow">https://saddo.club</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations'>https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations</a>

When Tom decides it&#39;s his time to swine, Margo gets the right royal hump, and sends for the head of the resident&#39;s association - Carter (The Unstoppable NeckerChief Machine) to lay down the law to the Goods. Elsewhere, a shopkeeper standing in front of a glorious display of fags is happy to sell magazines in exchange for eggs, whereas a window cleaner can only dream of trading his squeegee prowess for a quick ride with Felicity Kendal. #differenttimes #goodlife #SADDO Check out the corresponding show notes page at <a href="https://saddo.club/s01e05-get-carter" rel="nofollow">https://saddo.club</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations'>https://redcircle.com/sitcom-archive-deep-dive-overdrive/donations</a>

Tom is 40 and fed up with his lot.

Trailer

A podcast that takes a deep dive into the classic British sitcoms of the 1970s and 1980s.

We love sitcoms. Particularly classic British sitcoms of the 1970s and 1980s. They remind us of our happy childhoods, watching television with our families in the evenings, back when choice was limited to just three or four channels.

Now – 30 or 40 years later – we still love to watch classic sitcoms like Rising Damp, Fawlty Towers, Porridge and more: it’s like going to visit an old friend with whom you immediately feel relaxed and comfortable.

Starting with The Good Life (Good Neighbors to American audiences), we'll be taking a weekly deep dive into every single episode ever made of our favourite childhood sitcoms: examining the humour, characters, fashions and cringey bits together.

Join us at saddo.club to get involved!
