The 1970s is often regarded as the golden era of British sitcom. Well-remembered series include John Cleese and Connie Booth's farcical Fawlty Towers, John Esmonde and Bob Larbey's self-sufficiency comedy The Good Life. Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, a sequel to the earlier show, surpassed the original, while the same writers provided Ronnie Barker with his most successful sitcom vehicle, Porridge. Barker also starred (along with David Jason) in the very popular Open All Hours, written by Roy Clarke. Clarke's long-running Last of the Summer Wine began in 1973 and ended in 2010, becoming the world's longest running sitcom.
The commercial station ITV had popular successes with Rising Damp, Man About the House and George and Mildred. Rising Damp's star, Leonard Rossiter, also played the lead role in the BBC's highly popular The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. The decline in cinema attendance in this period meant that many of these series were turned into cinema films; the first film version of On the Buses was the biggest hit at the British box office in 1971. According to Jeff Evans, On the Buses is a "cheerfully vulgar comedy" in which "leering and innuendo dominate." Some of the network's other ratings successes from this era are now 'politically incorrect' too. Series such as Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language, which attempted to find humour in racial or ethnic conflict and misunderstandings, were increasingly criticised over time.
Increasing relaxation in regard to the discussion of sex meant farce became a familiar form in the 1970s used in series like Up Pompeii!, and Are You Being Served?.

The Wheeltappers & Shunters is the epitome of bad 70's comedy. Even as a kid I knew Bernard Matthews was a sad outdated bigot.
