AM I missing something in your article, “A common touch”
(Echo, Feb 1), about blue-collar comedy?
The programmes quoted as “working class” included The Royle Family (all unemployed), Bread (mostly unemployed), Birds of a Feather (both spouses in prison), Only Fools and Horses (both on the fiddle) and Porridge (all in jail).
Perhaps working class has a different definition in the BBC.
