Description



Book Synopsis



The first academic study dedicated to Please Sir!, a program that provides valuable insights into British society, television culture, education, and youth culture during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The situation comedy Please Sir! was televised from 1968 to 1972. This book explores its background, comedic style, cast of characters, its depictions of contemporary issues, and the impact of crises faced by its production company. It argues that Please Sir! reveals much about the social, cultural, and televisual era in which it was produced.
