A Touch of Class
The series looking at how the comedies of Jimmy Perry and David Croft chronicled 20th century Britain continues by examining the nation's obsession with status.
The British have long had an obsession with status and this was reflected in Perry and Croft's sitcoms. From the upstairs-downstairs world of You Rang, M'Lord? to the inversion of the class relationship between Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson in Dad's Army, there were always laughs to be found in the nation's attitudes towards class and social status.
