Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish - Season 5

Season 5

Ratings and critical hit Dave Gorman Modern Life Is Goodish will return to Dave for a fifth series this October. Continuing to grow its audience series-on-series it has become one of UKTV's most successful shows. For Dave Gorman, modern life is still good…ish – it's the absurdities and contradictions of today's world that continue to fascinate and infuriate him. And so his fightback continues (ish) with eight new mischievous comedy performances. In his own unique style, combining stand-up, visual storytelling and real-world experimentation, Dave turns his attention to the areas of everyday life we normally take for granted.
