U&Dave confirms air dates for Dave Gorman series

The U&Dave channel has confirmed that Dave Gorman’s Modern Life Is Goodish will be back for three new episodes from February 24.

The comedian last year made the surprise announcement about the return of the show, which ran for five series between 2013 and 2017, attracting 1.5 million viewers per episode at its peak.

He originally quit the show citing the heavy workload of writing the material and producing the slide-heavy PowerPoint displays.

But now Gorman says: ‘I’m delighted to be getting back in the Goodish saddle. It’s been seven years since I hung up my Modern Life Is Goodish clicker and in that time, life has definitely got seven years moderner – so there should be plenty to get my teeth into.’

Here are the billings

Ep 1 – Twelve is the Number We Do Things In
