Lame, right? But is it just me or is the rant relatively well written? I mean, take it out of the cramped set built from pastels, and might it not actually be funny? Imagine if George Costanza went on a rant about a "satellite bin" – it’d be great. I have a theory that if you took this script and re-shot it as Seinfeld, it’d be pretty decent. In a way, it’s the BBC’s own lack of ambition – its belief that the average man only wants to watch something that looks and sounds like a sitcom – that's holding them back.There is an argument, well put by Mark Lawson in the Guardian, that popular comedies like Citizen Khan and Mrs Brown’s Boys are good examples of critic-proof TV, shows the good honest public love and the snooty, hate-filled critics look down on. “The result is two paradoxical categories – the popular flop (Splash!) and the niche blockbuster (Breaking Bad),” writes Lawson. And he’s got a point. There are, however, barely any “niche blockbusters” being made by British comics. It would be easier to accept the stupid 70s throwback sitcoms if the BBC were still making comedy as good as The Day Today, The Thick of It, I’m Alan Partridge or even Goodness Gracious Me.
