Jack Dee returns to sitcom as half of an urban couple who rashly relocate to the country. Dee plays a web designer, tricky because the new house is "in a dip" and can't seem to connect to broadband; his wife (Kerry Godliman) is a gardener who must learn to charm the uniformly irritating villagers. Like Dee's BBC vehicle Lead Balloon, it relies on intricate plotting and heavily so in an opener that, in an effort to appeal to a wider audience, keeps its gags safe and gentle.

Bad Move is definitely not The Good Life, since Steve and Nicky can't do anything for themselves (and don't want to grow any veg). But it feels even safer than the 1970s sitcom: a couple of enjoyably wry lines and photogenic scenery barely enough to warrant a return visit.

It's the holy grail of comedy. The mainstream family sitcom. So full marks to ITV1 - not a channel with a great track record in the genre lately - for having a crack. Whether they've totally succeeded is another matter though.

Jack Dee: left-wing comics should not talk politics

Left-leaning comedians should keep their politics to themselves, according to Jack Dee, rather than poking fun at the Tories or criticising Brexit.

Wherever he lays his chat, that's his home: Ross recently returned to the former bosom of the BBC by parking the 12th series of his ITV vehicle in the remodelled Television Centre (or at least the bit of it that hasn't been turned into posh flats and a fancy club). His lineup of guests tonight include both Rag'n'Bone Man and a moaning gag-man (Jack Dee), plus there's a chinwag with former Westeros side-eye champ Natalie Dormer.
