Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier - Season 1

Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier - Season 1

Season 1

Award-winning comedian Jon Richardson comes to Dave for the first time with a brand-new, eight-part UKTV Original series, which allows him to do what he does best: worrying.

A self-confessed obsessive worrier and organiser, Ultimate Worrier sees Jon attempt to analyse, assess and log every single one of his many, many worries.

Will his wife replace him with a sex robot? Does his phone know more about him than he does? Will he ever make a jacket potato as good as the one he made in May 2009? Which of his worries should he worry about the most?

To help him with this colossal task, Jon is joined each week in the studio by big name comedians plus a range of experts. Using a mix of film, studio set-pieces and archive Jon and his guests will explore exactly how severe each worry actually is before filing it accordingly in Jon's very own 'Worriedness Index' - a high-tech digital log of every anxiety in existence.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
