Finding Alice ends with an insulting finale

ITV's domestic comedy-drama series started out whimsical and ended up completely deranged, despite one stand-out performance.

Finding Alice review

A decent drama with weirdly pitched comedy about a grieving partner left to tidy up several big messes.

August is when TV companies bury the shows they have no faith in. Which is the only possible explanation for BBC3 to try to slip the excruciating How Not To Live Your Life past us. It's a showcase for the comedy talents of writer/star Dan Clark. Which would be fine if he had any.

To distract myself from this excuse for a sitcom in which Cark, who looks 30, behaves like a charm-free hormonally rampant teenager, I tried to work out who he looked like. Finally, I cracked it - Jason Merrells from Cutting It. You're really in trouble when even your lookalike isn't interesting.
