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.
