From Sex and the City to Succession: will TV confront Covid or ignore it?

It’s a funny clip that Dave, the channel that makes Hypothetical, was happy to tweet out on its official account, but it highlights a dilemma that a lot of TV creatives are facing at the moment. Assuming Covid restrictions allow you to make your show in the first place, do you let the experience of life in the pandemic become a part of it?
“It’s not a case of absolutely not under any circumstances mentioning it,” insists Richard Watsham, director of commissioning at Dave’s parent company, UKTV. “It’s just about trying to minimise those mentions. When it comes to comedy and entertainment, I’ve always felt strongly that we were reflecting people’s need for escape.” That’s the crux of the problem: TV aims both to reflect reality back at us, and to offer us an escape from that reality. Covid has dominated our lives for nearly a year and it’s not disappearing any time soon. It is fairly easy for a non-topical panel game such as Hypothetical to forget it and have some abstract fun, but can comedies and dramas set in the present day keep ignoring it?
