The Comedy Years: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The Comedy Years looks back at how comedy shaped and defined specific years over the past 4 decades. Each episode mixes classic comedy archive with social history and pop culture nostalgia and shows how each year's comedy reflected a changing Britain – from the Thatcher era of satire of Not The Nine O'clock News and Spitting Image to ground breaking comedy series like The Royle Family, The Young Ones and The Office.
