Writers: Andrew Davies, Bernadette Davis / Theme Tune: Where I Find My Heaven by the Gigolo Aunts / Producer: Geoffrey Perkins I remember the one in the first series when Mandy was going out with that boxer, Paul "The Rage" Johnson and he comes to the flat and plonks his beer down on Matthew's surfboard, much to his horror. Of course the surfboard has probably never even been used.

She doesn't want to entirely condemn Age of the Ladette. It marked an important transition from the expectation that women should be quiet and deferential. Obviously none of it - the FHM spreads, the innuendo-soaked sit-coms - would pass for progressive today. Yes, it was pretty frank actually,” says Sioned Wiliam. “For me it was always just this wonderful idea about people trapped together – in the classic way the sitcom is – having to get on and live with each other. Bernadette is such a great writer – that emotional intelligence and depth of character was really important to her. You think of things like Girls and Fleabag – Lena Dunham and Phoebe Waller Bridge are, in a sense, the inheritors of this new frankness from the Nineties.” Game On is a British sitcom which ran for three series on BBC2 from 27 February 1995 to 6 February 1998.

Much underrated sitcom from the mid to late 1990's detailing the lives of three twenty something's flat-sharers. A less complicated time (no mobiles, little to no internet). At the heart of the story is the Matthew Malone character (played by Ben Chaplin (S1) and Neil Style (S2,S3)) the proprietor of the flat who's parents have died in a tragic car accident and left him with financial means and a severe case of agraphobia as a result of the trauma. It's not often mentioned, but this drives the characterization and is a subtle modifier of the plot of the entire series. It's precisely that 'absence', that makes Matt over-compensate his masculine credentials and despite being a sitcom, allows the viewer to develop at least some sense of sympathy/empathy with the Matt character across the episodes. Claudia Henson ( Rebecca Lacey) – Martin's older sister, and Mandy's best friend. Although frequently referred to throughout all three series, she actually only appears in one episode of the first series, when she and Mandy go clubbing, and never shares any scenes with Martin. In 1990, she appeared as a guest in two episodes of the CITV comedy sitcom Spatz; Series 1 Episode 2 and 3. It is rumoured that a possible falling out may have occurred leading to her swift exit from the show after such a brief stint. This is fuelled by her reluctance to admit for many years that she was part of the show. [12]I thought they were both good. They played the character in different ways but I wouldn't say one was better than the other.

Mr Bazoum is a Turkish man who also works at the bank where Martin works. The character is referred to in all series, and spoken to by Matthew who says "he sounds like a complete wanker". Spends a weekend away with Martin in the first series. I think that’s become quite unfashionable,” says Wiliam. “People forget that most comedies were recorded in front of a studio audience. That’s really fallen out of fashion.” As far as mainstream sitcoms go, there hadn’t been a show that skewed so young since, well, The Young Ones. Like many sitcom leads from the time (see also: Joey Tribbiani and the Men Behaving Badly), Matt is a homophobe and sex pest: he rifles through (and wears) Mandy’s underwear and bursts into the bathroom with a video camera; he has sex with inanimate objects, including a teddy bear and vacuum cleaner (two moments that are funnier than they should be); and demands sex from Mandy in lieu of unpaid rent.Rita Simons and Samantha Janus– Digital Spy Soap Awards 2008 – Digital Spy".
