Don't Lets Chart 114 - Chekhov's Chicken

Don't Lets Chart 114 - Chekhov's Chicken

Last Christmas, Ben Baker was kind enough to lend his voice to Episode 30 of 'Round The Archives', so we were more than happy when we were asked to do a little things for 'Don't Let's Chart', the wonderful podcast he co-hosts with Phil Catterall.

Our approach is usually to look for the good in everything, but that does impose some limits on what we're prepared to run articles on. So when the offer came to compile a list of our Top 5 Worst Sitcoms Of All Time, we could hardly pass up the opportunity to do something slightly different.

It was surprisingly easy to do and we compiled the list in our heads whilst doing the washing-up. Which might give you an insight into our domestic arrangements...

But it was lovely to form part of this Listener Takeover episode, and coming hot on the heels of our Pipkins piece for 'The ExtonMoss Experiment' (still available here) proves that we'll do almost anything for the sake of our art.

Well, maybe not... Ahem...
