    In 2020, with COVID-19 raging and much of the world locked down, working from home and communicating via Zoom and other online video conferencing platforms, the BBC released over 100 photographs of the empty sets from some of their most iconic TV shows – including Fawlty Towers, Porridge, Steptoe and Son, ‘Allo ‘Allo, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, Absolutely Fabulous and Doctor Who – suitable for use as a video background to brighten up your calls.

    Hancock’s Half Hour (1961).
    Steptoe and Son (1970).
    Fawlty Towers (1975).
    Porridge (1976).
    Only Fools and Horses (1982).
    Doctor Who (1983).

    The complete collection can be found for download here.
