	COMEDY PLAYHOUSE \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		Comedy Playhouse was the generic title for a series of unrelated one-off comedies used to showcase the talents of both writers old and new to television -as well as established and up-and-coming sitcom stars, many of whom would go on to become stalwarts of British comedy for years to come.
		Some classic sitcoms appeared in the Comedy Playhouse time-slot although not under the CP banner, such as Up Pompeii and It Ain't Half Hot Mum, which were broadcast as one-offs when the regular series was taking a break.
		Although Comedy Playhouse ended with the P G Wodehouse adaptation The Reverent Wooing of Archibald (starring William Mervyn, Julian Holloway and Madeline Smith) in 1974, there have been several attempts to revive the format without success.
