Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST.
In this episode, your hosts Tony Black and Rob Turnbull discuss The Cockfields from writers Joe Wilkinson & David Earl, which ran from 2019 to 2021.
Starring Wilkinson, Sue Johnston and initially Diane Morgan and Bobby Ball, it concerns the titular family on the Isle of Wight and all their eccentricities during a visit to the pastoral family home. Cast changes were forced in part by COVID-19 for a second season that perhaps outdoes the first. But is this gentle comedy a quiet great that too few people have discovered?
Listen and find out!
