I agree that radio sitcoms have in the past played a massive part in the development of sitcom,but i dont think that the radio is still important to sitcom, sitcom on the television is alot more visual and real, a hell of alot more people watch television than that listen to the radio. I agree with how important the radio has been to tv sitcom especially since it originated from the radio!
I listened to Yes, minister, a popular show on the BBC's biggest comedy radio show, i thought it was a bit high brow for me, it wasnt real and i thought it was just like listening to some men in a room. Although i did listen The Burkiss Way, which i thought was quite funny, very slapstick but quite funny. I dont prefer it to tv sitcoms but i think thats because they are much more mainstream.
Yes many popular tv sitcom's have come from the radio but they are much better on the tv than the radio, i listened to Dad's army and as i have seen this on tv a few times, i knew what it was about, but it couldnt compare to the tv sitcom, which in itself isnt that good.
There are some good radio sitcoms, like the Burkiss Way, (been listening to it for like an hour!) and Dead Ringers, which i think is better but on the radio!
But basically no i dont think the radio is still important in the continued development of sitcom.

I really pleased you have gone away from the lesson and listened to some of the radio shows. However I am most distressed that you accuse Dad's Army of being anything other than a top show! Still we are all entitled to an opinion and you did express it quite well.
