I wouldn't say Dave is a minor channel! It's hugely popular. Even my mum watches it. The UKTV network has been commissioning lots of original stuff lately that probably wouldn't see the light of day on the BBC (even though the BBC half owns it).

I might be wrong, but I thought Gorman had a twin brother anyway... they could have brought him on for a 'planned' surprise.

Didn't know that the BBC owned half of it but I still consider it a minor channel.

Doubt they have many shows that get more than 1,000,000 viewers. Happy to be proved wrong.

Out of the Freeview channels it is probably one of the most popular though.

I'm enjoying it. But yes, his voice is a tad odd tonight!
I didn't mind content ( mildly amusing like his previous shows but had to stop watching cos his voice was so high pitched?! Bizarre cos never had this issue with him before , it's like his voice has broken into a young boy again.

He does - Nick - he featured in "Dave Gromans important astrological experiment" but they aren't terribly alike.

Was surprised it was on a minor digital channel. This would do well on BBC2 / 3 or Channel 4 or perhaps 5.
Good on Dave for either commissioning it or buying the rights.
Better on Dave than not on at all.

I enjoyed the first episode but didn't really get into it but last night had several luagh out loud moments.

The research that goes into it must be amazing.

I kept expecting that unknown to him they had found a lookalike, and he walked on at the end to surprise Dave. The producers missed a trick there.
I was expecting them to do some split screen trickery and for him to appear at the back and creep up on himself!

I was unsure after ep 1 but to watch a lot of Mail-Online bashing is always a treat. A great episode last night.

@DaveGorman has just tweeted this regarding his pic on the Susan Scott website

They've left it on because they think it's funny. They know it's me, they know I'm "unavailable".

I didn't think it was as good as last week.
The rant about pound shops and multi packs was good but thought he went on about the money postage too much.

Still very good though.

Really? Keep trying. I've found each episode easily enough a few hours after each broadcast.

I really like Dave Gorman, his comedy is unique and has a way of creating histerical comedy without having to insult others.

As mentioned before, this show is very similar to his stage show which has funny bits, but (in my opinion) not at all as funny as his previous shows. Before he had a mission there was a reason for him going to random places and meeting even more random people, but this time the smirky comments are still there but there is no big purpose... I think what Dave really needs is a mission and above all else a GRAPH!

Don't forget to buy a cushion to go with it!

I think it's brilliant - I actually cried at the Found Poem! LOL! (The Found Poems always seem to have LOL in them somewhere!)

I didn't think it was as good as last week.

I was quite surprised and impressed with the money postage bit! I desperately wanted him to ask that guy at the end what he was going to do with the money!

You're right! Of course - that's exactly what I would have done!
