Re: Brit Sitcom Game.

You got it with Clarence. The controversy was that Clarence had extremely poor eyesight and as a lot of the humour was based around that impairment, it was felt by some that it was mocking blind people. btw the other was The Magnificent Evans with Barker playing a photographer in the 20s/30s.

He did have an affair with a maid if memory serves. That would have been controversial in the era in which it was set.

Magnificent Evans.. yes. That doctor woman from A Mind To Kill with Phillip Madoc was also in this.

Not strictly an affair. Clarence and the maid lived together, and they shared a bed, but the maid insisted on a bolster down the middle, so no hanky panky. To be honest, as the series was set in the 20s or 30s, that would have been frowned upon at that time, but as the series was made in the late 80s, it didn't raise any eyebrows on that count. The stick it got was for supposedly mocking a disability. In a similar way, Barker's series Open all Hours got some criticism for Arkwright's stutter.

One was In Sickness and in Health. The other was when Alf was in the pub or similar with one person and he would ramble on about topics of the time, but I don't recall what it was called.
