Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.
In this episode, we take a look at the interesting quirk of sitcom recasting and how it affects a show when a cast member unexpectedly leaves!
Whether recasting the same role or introducing a new character, changing things up can often be a good thing but does it always work?
Everything from ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES through to CUCKOO gets a nod as we talk the pros and cons of recasting and in some cases, you might even think it makes the show better…
- NOTE: We had a mysterious sound issue at the time of recording but plowed ahead. Apologies for the light crackle in places!
