Later-life sexuality through the lens of British sitcom
Using close readings of Waiting for God, The Old Guys, and Vicious, this academic study examines how British sitcoms depict sexually active older adults. It considers comedy as a framework that can make later-life sexuality visible while also placing limits on how it is understood and represented. By treating transgression as both a comic device and a cultural question, the book connects television comedy to wider discussions of ageing, sexuality, and public attitudes in Britain.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and researchers of television comedy and media studies
- Readers interested in ageing and sexuality in popular culture

Based on close readings of three major sitcoms, this book unpacks how sitcoms understand later life sexualities and focusses on how they represent sexually active older adults.
Focusing on three representative sitcoms - Waiting for God, The Old Guys and Vicious - it demonstrates the ways in which sitcoms specifically enable and restrict representations of later life sexualities. Tracing how transgressive portrayals of sexually active older adults are couched in comedic terms, it opens up new critical perspectives on later life sexualities that will critically inform public debates and academic research - in Britain and beyond.
