Terry and June: The British Truman Show?

Many of the situation comedy double acts in this chapter are the creation of actors and writers who shunned stereotypes, that method of creating, to quote Andy Medhurst:

A shortcut to meaning, and often, due to their inability to convey complexity, a short cut to misrepresentation. Sitcom’s tendency to paint social characterisation with a very broad brush in order to reach the haven of laughter as swiftly as possible makes its recourse to stereotypes virtually unavoidable. (2007: 145)
