Heading Out

Sadly, thanks to years of being jaded by some appalling lowest common denominator sitcoms on the BBC, people are bound to have preconceptions about any new comedy programme and it is all too easy to dismiss a show like Heading Out and almost expect to be disappointed.

Unfortunately, this may cause viewers braced to be let down, to judge it too early and too harshly because it didn't have them howling with laughter immediately.

The main thing this show has going for it, is Sue Perkins' likability. This is certainly not a groundbreaking show or armed with one hilarious joke after another. What it is light comedy that would perhaps be better suited to an afternoon slot, (possibly in place of endless repeats of repeats).

It is possible to enjoy Heading Out, if it is watched with an open mind and enjoyed for what it is, rather than what it isn't.
