Join us for a joyful celebration of one of Britain’s most beloved and influential sitcoms The Likely Lads and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, the stand out comedy that captured a generation in transition.

Starring James Bolam and Rodney Bewes as lifelong friends Bob and Terry, the series remains a masterclass in character-driven humour, social commentary and bittersweet nostalgia.

With its brilliant writing team Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Porridge) live onscreen for an exclusive conversation, this special event revisits the series reflecting on how its mix of wit and warmth influenced generations of comedy writers and performers from Ant & Dec to Caroline Aherne. A timeless portrait of friendship, class and change.
