Men about the House

A look at five decades of the father in British sitcoms. Dad may be the head of the family and an authority symbol, but he has always been the butt of some of our biggest laughs.

Father may be the head of the family, a potent symbol of authority, but he has always been the butt of some of our biggest laughs in British sitcom. Over the last five decades some of our most iconic comedy dads have been bewildered by a changing world and struggled with the work/life balance. These dads have coped with every curveball their writers threw at them and in the process changed the course of British comedy. They remain our most enduring Men About The House.
