Tracey Ullman Class Act - Class Air

Extract from the Tracey Ullman comedy classic "A Class Act" This sketch is a cutting, insightful parody of the British Class system where an airline Class Air, rather than using the usual euphemisms of 'Tourist' 'Business' and 'First' Class (and all the various and colourful derivations thereof) actually dares to be honest and classify its passengers as 'Working' 'Middle' and 'Upper' Class. This is just one part of 'A Class Act'. I would encourage fans of Tracey Ullman's work to get the DVD. However It won't be like this, this is the original uncut ITV broadcast from 1992 featuring the song "I am what I am". And I have a question for any Tracy Ullman 'insiders' out there - why Macclesfield? I agree its a small, petty class ridden town, but there are lots of those in England much better known, so why on earth pick Macclesfield? let me know - lulujacks@hotmail.co.uk

Reply to cncit -I know Macclesfield well, it’s a former “It’s grim up North” mill town with delusions of grandeur, mostly because of the 'celebrity footballer' millionaire villages nearby (principally Prestbury) But my point is, it's not THAT well known, there are many other, better known ‘joke’ towns with an Argos, for example Milton Keynes, always a popular choice among comedy writers looking for a quick laugh (no offense) or even Tracy Ullmans home town of Slough would work. So why pick Macc?
