=== Media === * An episode of the BBC radio comedy series ''[[Hancock's Half Hour]]'' paid tribute to Osborne's play in "The East Cheam Drama Festival" (1958). The episode features the regular cast spoofing a number of theatrical [[genre]]s, with ''Look Back in Anger'' recast as "Look Back in Hunger—a new play by the Hungry Young Man, Mr. John Eastbourne". Scriptwriters [[Alan Simpson (scriptwriter)|Alan Simpson]] and [[Ray Galton]] mimic several elements of Osborne's play, from Jimmy's railing against the iniquities of modern life to the values of middle-class bourgeois life. The episode "Sunday Afternoon at Home" (1958) begins with a striking similarity to the opening of Osborne's play, with Hancock and [[Sid James]] sitting reading the papers and complaining there's nothing to do. * ''[[Second City Television|SCTV]]'' (season 4, episode 2) parodied the play and its genre with "Look Back in a Bloody Rage" as an entrant in a British film festival focused on angry young men. * "[[Ed Wood]]: Look Back in Angora", a 1994 documentary about Ed Wood, a [[B-movie]] director, released by [[Rhino Home Video]]. The [[cross-dressing]] Wood often wore an [[angora wool|angora]] sweater and angora fabric is featured in many of his films. * In ''[[Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip]]'', an American television series by [[Aaron Sorkin]], the character Andy Mackinaw translates ''Look Back in Anger'' into Dutch. * "Look Back in Annoyance" is the title of a retrospective episode of ''[[Daria]]'', an animated television series. * Jimmy Shive-Overly, one of the leads in the FX series ''[[You're the Worst]]'', is named after Jimmy.<ref>{{cite tweet|number=1218321299623137280|user=stephenfalk|title=@MacabreMacabre1 Yes!|date=17 January 2020}}</ref>
