Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply

Dave Gorman is one of my favourite comedians. Important Astrology Experiment, Are you Dave Gorman?, Googlewack Adventure were all brilliant. Then there was Modern Life is Goodish which didn't disappoint, it was amazing and I was very excited when I saw Dave The Gorman was getting new show on Dave The Channel and I enjoyed it enough when it aired but wasn't great.

Having watched it a second time I now understand where this show fell short for me, It didn't know what is was. It want's to be a panel show but feel like it wants to be Goodish too and it doesn't really work. There are amusing bits but they tend be Dave explaining something to the guest which he has on the big screen like he did with MLIG and guest add very little. I don't know if the idea for the show came from Dave The Gorman or Dave The Channel, but it was like they were trying to recapture the magic of MLIG without actually making more MLIG.

It is watchable and if there was to be a second series I would probably still watch it.

Followed Dave Gorman for years and loved his comedy and obscure look at the world. However, this is awful. I'd a few episodes saved and started tonight. After the first I thought it must get better, it doesn't. All deleted. Watch a repeat of anything else.

Modern Life is Goodish - brilliant, couldn't get enough. Terms and Conditions - absolutely awful. Can't believe Dave Gorman lowered his standards to this rubbish.

This is Dave Gorman. He has a show, and it's very much a show that someone named Dave Gorman would probably make.

I like his guests. They are probably all friends with each other. I can imagine that they hang out at bars and talk about these things and they all think that Dave Gorman is very strange and weird for caring about whatever these inventions are.

Modern Life certainly is Terms. And Goodish. And Conditional.

Literally.

What an R-List comedian.

I've been a fan of Modern Life is Goodish from the get-go. It was a great show, very observational and funny.

This, however, falls completely short. Every episode is more or less the same (after having seen 2 episodes of 'funny names for colours' I thought that would be enough - but no, it gets rehashed for a third episode), the jokes are pre-written and not always funny, the guest comedians are often 'cut short' and not given time to expand and 'go crazy'.

It's not what I'm used to from Dave. I love Taskmaster and many other Dave shows, but this one unfortunately doesn't cut it for me.

Don't expect anything even near Modern Life is Goodish....

Shame.
