Press
This foodie odyssey from the star of Uncle seems like an opportunistic brand extension, with Helm guzzling freebies at some of his favourite chow dens and booze holes - but, as the title suggests, there's more going on under the surface. The spaced-out comic dishes up some melodrama between bites that makes it feel like a more lo-fi take on The Trip, with an opening double bill that is London-centric but very fun.

It's engaging, without being compelling, but surely able to stand the multiple repeats a Dave programme needs. For if there's one thing TV has shown us, viewers can't get enough of cookery shows.
