In a weekend dominated by talking bunnies on BBC1, King Gary was a (slightly) more realistic sitcom pilot from Tom Davis and James De Frond, two of the team behind BBC3's addictively silly Murder In Successville.

Here we are smack bang in the most wonderful time of year. Your family and dearest friends all together in one room, huddled round to pick through the delights of Christmas TV. One of the first offerings from the festive schedule was the entirely unfestive comedy pilot King Gary (BBC One), a soufflé-light sitcom following married couple Gary and Terri King (Tom Davis and Laura Checkley) as they try to fit in with their middle-class neighbours.
