Living the Dream: comedy drama at its most lightweight

Living the Dream, Sky1's new six-part series, is billed as a "comedy-drama". No genre makes the heart sink quite so fast. All good comedy is weighted with pathos, just as dramas can be all the bleaker for the odd belly laugh. In British programming, "comedy drama" is a byword for "light viewing," usually a warning that what follows will be neither one thing nor the other.
