Room Service

1979 · 1 season

A creaky old-fashioned sitcom that plods gently along, rarely landing laughs, easy to leave on without much attention.

Overview: Room Service was a 1979 Thames Television comedy series, notable as being written by Jimmy Perry without his usual writing partner David Croft. It and Perry's other work without Croft, High Street Blues "remain contenders for the title of worst British sitcom". The cast included Penelope Nice, Bryan Pringle and Matthew Kelly.
How it feels: Light and absurd. Measured and fine in the background.
About: Work, class, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
