Stand-up comedian and "high priest of comedy PowerPoint" (The Times) Dave Gorman returns to UKTV after a seven-year hiatus with the critically acclaimed and ratings hit, Dave Gorman Modern Life Is Goodish.

Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish ran for five series on Dave, attracting 1.5 million viewers per episode at its peak and was one of UKTV's longest running and successful original commissions. Armed with a computer, clicker and checked shirt, Dave casts an eye over modern life in his own unique style combining stand-up, visual storytelling, and real-world experimentation.

In these mischievous comedy performances, Dave turns his attention to the areas of everyday life we normally take for granted- scrutinising the absurdities and contradictions that continue to fascinate and infuriate him.

Dave Gorman said: "I'm delighted to be getting back in the Goodish saddle. It's been 7 years since I hung up my Modern Life Is Goodish clicker and in that time, life has definitely got 7 years moderner - so there should be plenty to get my teeth into."

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. For Dave Gorman, modern life is still good…ish – it's the absurdities and contradictions of today's world that continue to fascinate and infuriate him. 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.
