Sitcom

Starting with the hugely successful sitcom Love Thy Neighbour, the series looks at some of the well-meaning attempts television made to embrace the changing face of the nation during the 1970s.

The advent of Channel 4 was a key catalyst in bringing diversity to UK homes during the 1980s and into the 90s, with shows such as No Problem!, The Cosby Show and Desmond's.

The film concludes with a look at the influence diversity and multiculturalism has had on society on comedy through shows such as Phoneshop, People Just Do Nothing and Chewing Gum.
