Critics have slated Sirs Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi’s new gay sitcom Vicious.

The first episode saw older gay couple Freddie and Stuart, who have lived together for 48 years, hosting a wake and meeting their sexually ambiguous young neighbor.

A call back to a classic kind of comedy filmed in front of a live audience, the show worked well when showing off its camp one-liners about age and relationships.

Sir Ian McKellen, the star of new sitcom Vicious which is based around a gay couple, has said he is glad gay people no longer mostly bear the brunt of jokes in comedy today.

Speaking about the show to The Sun, he said: ‘In the past, gay characters in sitcoms have been figures of fun. They were funny because they were gay.

‘But I like the fact that these characters are funny because of the people they are. That’s a real advance.’
