Pandemonium
Further details
2020 has been an absolute nightmare for the Jessop family (amongst others). Having seen their finances and future plans devastated, they've also had to abandon their holiday of a lifetime to California. With family morale at an all-time low, the Jessops decide they're going to have their summer holiday after all, even if it means doing it in October. In Margate.
All filmed by their youngest son, Pandemonium charts the Jessops' last, dogged attempt at some quality family time in 2020, despite the best efforts of a global pandemic to pull them apart.

Pandemonium review
BBC comedy is a valiant effort at exploring our current predicament.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 31st December 2020Review: Pandemonium
As what's hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime disruptor, the coronavirus pandemic is an unusual hook for a sitcom's pilot episode. Lockdown is certainly not a 'sit' you'd want to return to time and again.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th December 2020Pandemonium review
It's a wise sitcom that gives Alison Steadman all the best lines.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 30th December 2020Pandemonium review
A lockdown comedy special with gallows humour.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 30th December 2020Preview: Pandemonium - Christmas Special 2020, BBC One
It seems a bit presumptious that this one-off comedy is billed as a Christmas special on the BBC website. It makes it sound as if it is following on from a hit series. But on the positive side Pandemonium feels so instantly accessible and so well-rounded that it could easily be following on from a hit series.
