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.

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.
