U&Dave has set a February premiere date for the return of the brilliantly funny, and sometimes a little weird ‘Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish’.
Dave Gorman’s ‘Modern Life is Goodish’ ran for five series on Dave, attracting 1.5 million viewers per episode at its peak and was one of UKTV’s longest-running and successful original commissions. Armed with a computer, clicker and checked shirt, Dave casts an eye over modern life in his own unique style combining stand-up, visual storytelling, and real-world experimentation. In these mischievous comedy performances, Dave turns his attention to the areas of everyday life we normally take for granted- scrutinising the absurdities and contradictions that continue to fascinate and infuriate him.
Now, Dave is returning to U&Dave to host four new specials of the hilarious hit comedy show. More powerpoints. More checked shirts, and yes, the Billroth String Ensemble are also returning!
“I’m delighted to be getting back in the Goodish saddle,” said Gorman. “It’s been 7 years since I hung up my Modern Life Is Goodish clicker and in that time, life has definitely got 7 years moderner – so there should be plenty to get my teeth into.”
‘Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish’ is produced by Avalon, commissioned for UKTV by Mark Iddon, senior commissioning executive, comedy and entertainment, and ordered by Cherie Hall, Dave channel director and Hilary Rosen, director of commissioning. It is directed by Paul Wheeler and series produced by James Fidler. The executive producers are Jamie Isaacs and Dave Gorman.
‘Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish’ returns from Monday, 24th February 2025 on U&Dave.
