So we have a wealth of handpicked sitcoms across Brit Box and ITVX (still no Hancock’s Half Hour) and now ungagged stand-up and shows made by comedians on Ustreme. So as we keep asking what about the ones that got away?
We’re talking:
Love Thy Neighbour
Till Death Us Do Part
[AdSense-A]
Curry and Chips
The Melting Pot

Dick Emery
You get the idea where do all the politically incorrect sitcoms go?
For the most part they get swept away into a cupboard and hope people forget about them. Till Death Us Do Part and it’s sequel In Sickness and In Health, alongside some others have made it to DVD. But with so many streaming services isn’t it about time they appeared on their own streaming platform. You’d know what you were going to see if you subscribe so nobody gets offended, realistically they should appear on ITVX and Brit Box but it seems they are too politically incorrect for that.
However there is some good news for lovers of the politically incorrect. You Tube carries Till Death Us Do Part, Love Thy Neighbour, Curry and Chips, selected Dick Emery and at the moment The Melting Pot (this has been on before and was swiftly removed). However they do sometimes get pulled down before re-appearing and you have the ads to contend with but at least they are there.
