There ought to be mileage in a comedy based around the much maligned white van man, but on early evidence this series fails to make the most of the opportunity. It's not that it's bad (we are not talking Two Pints of Lager..., a sitcom with links to both White Van's main star Will Mellor and writer Adrian Poynton), it's just that's it's not very good - or clever. Mellor plays Ollie, an amiable fool who has to put his dreams of running a restaurant on hold to run his father's handyman business, with the help of an idiotic assistant (Joel Fry).
