Hello! And welcome to The Worms That Turned - a podcast where we watch old UK TV sitcoms and decide whether they are suitable for our modern, woke world.

We’re back for another two-parter, in which we take a long, withering stare at the classic Ronnie Corbett sitcom, Sorry!, about a middle-aged librarian still living at home with his domineering mother.

In this episode, we compare our middle-aged lives with Ronnie Corbett’s character, Timothy Lumsden, and feel only slightly better about our own careers, relationships, and lifetime achievements.

In this episode, Will discovers that recording a podcast is far cheaper than actual therapy, and Rob reveals the shocking fact he is slightly taller than average height.

Is Britain’s 77th most popular sitcom* of all time overdue a cultural revival or has it aged as badly as Ronnie Corbet trying to play a man ten years younger than himself? Join us and find out!

* According to the Top 100 Best British Sitcoms (2004).

Warning ⚠️this episode contains language that some listeners may find offensive... but only because we're quoting old TV shows, not because we enjoy using those words. We're not your father-in-law.
