I'm watching some Britbox here on the other side of the pond. Catching some of the first color year of Dad's Army, I'd seen some of the black and white years before, and Rising Damp. To these non-British eyes they seem very strange as in a world I have no understanding of. Last of the Summer Wine in season three and beyond somewhat floats above culture in a fantasy land like the best of PG Wodehouse. Dad's Army and Rising Damp are clearly based much more in their time and place, though Dad's Army was looking backwards even then.
What was it like to watch sitcoms in the 70s in England? Are they still enjoyed? What shows would be interesting to watch from this period?
Thanks.
