The series charting the history of the best of British comedy returns for a sixth series by taking a look at Till Death Do Us Part, which burst onto screens in June 1966. The sitcom was the most controversial, offensive and original programme of its time with the foul-mouthed, East London bigot, Alf Garnett, becoming one of Britain's greatest comedy characters. Comedy Connections reveals how Peter Sellers was the original choice to play Alf, lifts the lid on the simmering tensions between actors Warren Mitchell and Tony Booth, and discusses the language and racial attitudes displayed by Alf Garnett. Till Death Do Us Part courted controversy from the outset and became the bete noir of Mary Whitehouse's Viewers and Listeners Association, which complained, not about the show's racist language, but the use of the word 'bloody'. Despite this, family Garnett were fought over by the BBC and ITV, appearing at various points on both networks for nearly 40 years. Interviewees include Warren Mitchell, Anthony Booth, Una Stubbs, Kenny Lynch, Ken Campbell, producers Richard Boden and William G Stewart, and former controller of BBC One Michael Peacock.

Series charting the history of the best of British comedy. A look at Rab C Nesbitt, the sitcom about the life of a working-class Glaswegian, which ran for thirteen years and survived the death of a cast member to win audiences of five million viewers. The programme reveals how the series was born out of a string of happy accidents, how it thrived despite its main star initially not wanting the role, how some Glaswegians struggled to accept the character and what a burden the character and resultant fame became for the star, Gregor Fisher. We also find out just where the 'C' came from in the eponymous character's name. With contributions from writer Ian Pattison, producer Colin Gilbert, actors Gregor Fisher, Elaine C Smith, Tony Roper, Barbara Rafferty and former BBC Two controller Alan Yentob.

A look at Sorry!, the sitcom starring Ronnie Corbett as a middle-aged librarian.

The series charting the history of the best of British comedy looks at Dad's Army, the gentle wartime sitcom that became one of the most popular and best-loved series of all time. Set in wartime Britain, the cast of Dad's Army featured many veterans of stage and screen including Arthur Lowe, John Laurie and Arnold Ridley. As well as creating a template for future ensemble sitcoms, the series established one of British TV's most successful writing partnership - that of Jimmy Perry and David Croft. But Comedy Connections reveals that neither writer gave Dad's Army its name. Originally called Fighting Tigers, the new title was imposed on the show by the BBC's then Head of Comedy, Michael Mills. Other surprises include John Laurie expressing his disappointment that, at the age of 73 and after a glittering theatre career, he should become most famous for 'this crap', what happened when Ian Lavender asked the show's writers whether his character, Pike, was in fact Wilson's son, and what producer David Croft did with the audience feedback report after the screening of the show's pilot. With contributions from writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft, plus actors Clive Dunn, Ian Lavender, Frank Williams, Bill Pertwee, Pamela Cundell and Wendy Richard.
