god I miss these kind of shows so much where they would have some niche topic like Vic and Bob in this case, or like also old advertisements and movies and stuff like that, and they would get all these guests to just come and talk about what they loved about it swear the networks all made this collective decision to just stop making and broadcasting them around 2007 cuz that stuff just stopped but it was a good way to spend a few hours on a Sunday as a kid
Probably because everyone got utterly sick to death of them cuz EVERY CHANNEL was making endless amounts of them at the time. Thing was, they were cheap as chips to make, being the glorified clip shows that they were, and so channels churned them out constantly. Everything has a saturation point however, and eventually audiences get bored. Plenty of those kind of shows kicking around on here youtube to keep you entertained though if you so wish.
Says the 70's were so stifling and mainstream, but dismisses Python as "oxbridge mafia"? And yes, all successful alternative comedy will become folded into the new mainstream. This seems like ax-grinding to me.
This essentially mostly about Vic and Bob, which is a shame, because a lot of us thought they were shite. Lots of alternative comedy was going on with nothing whatsoever to do with them. They were very niche., so I don't know why they feature in 70% of this documentary.
Not sure how the narrator can talk with a straight face about the terrible 70s, when we had to suffer through bad comedies centered around difference, then cut to an interview with Matt Lucas.
@@El_Gormo because a lot of former sensible people turned liberal and stopped watching and therefore viewing figures went down? Got it. 😂 You know what? As great as comedy went after complaining about the Bernard Manning's of apparently so-called comedy, now we can't joke about anything. Now comedy is no longer funny but it's still called comedy. Well done libs.
