Not quite the same way as in The Young Ones though
Almost seems strange to think of UC as having been an ITV show, it's quite high brow and very un-ITV... though admitedly there were only 2 channels when it started and Granada wouldn't have produced it for the BBC, so it couldn't have gone anywhere else. May have felt more at home if they'd moved it to Channel 4 when that began, as some ITV shows did.
