Our first class was all about birds and the characteristics that make birds unique. We discussed their hearing, vision and adaptations that allow birds to “make a living.” We used tweezers, pliers, slotted spoons, toothpicks, tongs and straws to demonstrate how different kinds of beaks and bills are used to crack nuts, eat seed, spear fish, pry insects out of bark or take apart a berry. We also talked about the different types of birds’ feet, which are used for perching, hunting, foraging, swimming and wading. We had a display of various bird nests and eggs, and talked about the plume industry and the dawn of conserva­ tion around 1900.

Abstract The 2010s saw a boom in television comedies, created by, written, and starring women, that exploring the bawdy and chaotic lives of protagonists who were experiencing some form of arrested development. These comedies sought to build intimate connections with their imagined audiences by crossing boundaries — social, bodily and physical — to produce comedies of discomfort. Drawing in part on Rebecca Wanzo’s consideration of ‘precarious-girl comedy’ (2016) I examine how two British television comedies intensified these intimate connections through the use of direct address, binding the audience tightly to the sexual and social misadventures of their twenty-something female protagonists.
