New Writings: Code: Damp – An Esoteric Guide to British Sitcoms

Want to know more about some of the classic British sitcoms? Then come to this engaging talk.

  • Total running time 90min

Take a Situationist, alchemical and surrealist dive into an imagined unconscious through the marshy landscape of the sitcom as Sophie Sleigh-Johnson presents her new book Code: Damp, in conversation with Professor Simon O'Sullivan. Published by Repeater Books on the 40th anniversary of the death of Leonard Rossiter, this imaginative counter-(oc)cultural history uses Rising Damp and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin to chart unexpectedly esoteric patterns in British popular moving image.
