Everyone Else Burns, written by relative newcomers Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor, is a strikingly fresh sitcom while at the same time touching on some instantly recognisable tropes - the family dynamic, dad worried about his status, rivalry, meddling neighbours. It takes a few swipes at religion but actually in a fairly benign way.
