Comedians and their work speak to and of their time, drawing upon and moulding Britons' relationship with their national history, reflecting us as a people, and, simply, providing raucous laughs for millions of people around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDifferent Times is a joyous, witty and insightful paean to British comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571353460\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.5 x 6.4 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50252662112560,"sku":"Trans_9780571353460","price":1869.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71jlShTpT4L.jpg?v=1761642571","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/different-times-a-history-of-british-comedy","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
