Articles liés à Shelved: The Sitcom The BBC Buried
Synopsis
In 1985, the BBC united three giants of British comedy: Eric Sykes, Spike Milligan, and writer Johnny Speight. It should have been a goldmine. Instead, they produced The Jewel in the Crown, Southall, Middx—a pilot deemed so "horribly misjudged" that it was locked in the archives and never broadcast.
For decades, this pilot has been a legend amongst comedy historians. A rumour. A lost artefact of a bygone era.
Until now.
Based on rare access to the full, unedited 35-minute studio recording, I have performed a complete autopsy on the disaster that couldn't kill a legacy. I discover why the BBC shelved it, analysing everything from the chaotic, structurally flawed script and unresolved plotlines to the elephant in the room: Spike Milligan returning to controversial "brownface" caricature in the mid-80s.
This book is to accompany my YouTube series "The Jewel in the Crown, Southall Middx... The Sitcom You Weren't Meant to See" and includes more details and additional background information not included in the videos.
