Still Laughing is a lively, deeply nostalgic exploration of the golden age of the 1980s British sitcom. From Only Fools and Horses , Blackadder and Yes Minister to Red Dwarf and The Young Ones , Robert Sellers revisits the comedies that defined a turbulent decade shaped by Thatcherism, social change and the arrival of Channel 4. As politics grew sharper, so too did sitcom. Bread and Desmond’s captured working-class and Black British life with new confidence, while Executive Stress , Girls on Top and Birds of a Feather showcased complex, ambitious roles for women. Alternative comedy broke through, reshaping the tone of television humor for good. Still Laughing explores these famous shows, bringing back a host of memories in the process. It also spotlights the shows we’ve forgotten – in most cases for good reason. Rich with behind-the-scenes insight and sharp commentary, it is both a joyful return to appointment-to-view television and a fresh appraisal of a transformative era in British comedy. This is nostalgia with a capital N, an oral history, the last word, but also a slice of TV history and an affectionate salute to those shows that so many of us grew up with.
