Comedian and “high priest of comedy PowerPoint” (The Times) Dave Gorman returns to UKTV with a brand-new show, Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply. Once again Dave will be bringing his trusty screen along but now, in each episode, he will also be joined by three comedy guests as they cast their eye over his latest modern world discoveries, compete in mischievous games and generally try to unscramble the baffling morass of non-stop information that surrounds us in the internet age.
Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish ran for five series on Dave, attracting 1.5 million viewers per episode at its peak, and is one of UKTV's most successful original commissions.
Dave Gorman said, “I’m delighted to be getting the band back together and making another show for Dave. I’m still trying to navigate my way through the bombardment of non-stop information… but hopefully, this show will prove I’m far from alone in finding it all quite so baffling.”
Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply is produced by Avalon, commissioned for UKTV by Iain Coyle, head of comedy and entertainment, and ordered by Richard Watsham, director of commissioning and Luke Hales, Dave channel director. Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply is directed by Paul Wheeler and series produced by James Fidler.
Iain Coyle said, “It is a matter of great personal pride that I am, again, getting to work with one of the most creative and unique voices in television and comedy.”
Luke Hales said, “Well we did name a TV channel after him, so figured we should probably give him another show! But jokes aside, we’re hugely pleased to be able to continue our relationship with Dave Gorman on this brand-new series.”
Jamie Isaacs, executive producer at Avalon, said, “It’s very exciting to be bringing Dave and the Modern Life Is Goodish team back together for a new show with UKTV.”
Dave Gorman is one of a huge number of star names appearing on Dave, alongside Hypothetical, hosted by Josh Widdicombe with James Acaster, andreturning favourites such as Taskmaster, John Richardson: Ultimate Worrier, Judge Romesh and scripted comedies Sliced and Porters. Expedition with Steve Backshall, UKTV's co-production with BBC, airs later in the year.
Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply will air later this year on Dave.
