We asked you for right-wing sitcoms and you didn’t disappoint – 15 funny favourites
With the BBC’s new Director General apparently out to cull some of the left-wing comedy from the schedule, and intending to balance it out with more right-wing comedy, Twitter had a lot of thoughts on the issue.

“Hello, and welcome to Right Wing Comedy on BBC2. On tonight’s show:
• an impersonation of a gay man being all camp and shit
• blackface
• other assorted racisms
• purple-faced boomers shouting ‘snowflake’
• the ‘I identify as…’ section, with some deeply unoriginal cunt.”— 🏳️🌈 Max 🏳️🌈 (@SpillerOfTea) September 1, 2020
We wondered whether the new comedy might include sitcoms, and if so, what would they be like, so we put this challenge to you.
The new DG of the BBC has promised to introduce more right-wing comedy, so we want #RightWingSitcom ideas.
