"Comedy and satire has always been a popular medium of entertainment in the United Kingdom. In the late 16th century, Shakespeare paved the way for the introduction of comedies into performing arts with his ground-breaking comedies, which include A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Comedy of Errors and Twelfth Night. A generation of playwrights was heavily influenced by his work, and the effects soon transcended into other mediums of art. In the following couple of centuries, comedy began to manifest itself in serious newspapers (as political cartoons), music halls and street pantomimes."

"The concept of modern comedy shows took shape in the first half of the 20th century through radio comedies broadcasted by BBC Radio. Interestingly, Peter Eton, the producer of BBC's Hancock's Half Hour, was credited as the creator of the term sitcom (situational comedy)."

"By the late 1950s and early 1960s, sitcoms evolved into 30-minute weekly comedy television episodes, and became an important element of British culture. The country simply couldn't get enough of them, and BBC and ITV had as many as a dozen sitcoms on air."
