First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on October 10th 2021 Our Canadian Correspondent RICK LAWLOR returns to continue with our bit of a natter about the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of British Sitcoms, which started three months ago in VISION ON SOUND NUMBER 40, and, carrying on with his long list of around ninety shows cross-indexed across several decades, over the course of our hour-long chat, we chat about his memories of the sitcoms from the 1980s & 1990s. As before, if you're a fan of these shows, you may not learn much that you didn't already know, but I hope you'll enjoy our amiable nostalgic meander. This edition starts off with EVER DECREASING CIRCLES, briefly nods in the direction of THE BRITTAS EMPIRE and SORRY, heads over to Whitehall for YES, MINISTER, and YES, PRIME MINISTER, dallies with A FINE ROMANCE, goes into the far future with RED DWARF, ponders the fate of the strangely all-but forgotten MULBERRY, and considers perhaps the closer future of WAITING FOR GOD, amongst several others, and once again, I hope that you'll enjoy our conversation. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

This week we review - Ever Decreasing Circles (Series 3 Episode 3) Martin Bryce lives in a cul de sac in a quiet suburban area. He is the chairman of every club committee going and believes himself to be the pivotal member of the community. The stability of Martin's life is disturbed when Paul moves in next door. He has the poise, looks and self-confidence to dent Martin's self-imposed rule of 'the Close'. His wife, Ann, has tolerated his compulsive behaviour as she knows he is a good man at heart, but Paul is somebody who will test her loyalty to Martin in more ways than one.
