Research for Epsom - TV and Film



To the manor Born:

This programme was originally made in 1979. It is a British sitcom TV series that only had 22 episodes. I think that this programme is very relevant to our play Epsom Downs as it is an extremely British idea of what the upper class were like in the 1970's. since it is based around very upper class characters, it would mainly be relevant the characters Lord Rack, Charles Pierce, Roger Coyle and Dorothy Delaune.














What ever happened to the Likely Lads:

This programme was originally made in 1973/1974. It is also a British sitcom TV series but it was a spin off from the series The Likely Lads. I think this programme is also relevant to our play as it is an accurate representation of British workers and lower class. I think that this TV programme would mainly relate to the characters Jocks, Sandy, Margret, Bobby and Sharon. It also relates to the horse races as in many of the episodes the character Terry often paces bets on the races even though he can't afford it.
