What Josh Widdicombe learnt

Josh Widdicombe says writing his first sitcom was the "toughest thing he's ever done". We got Josh to tell us what he learnt from a few of his favourite sitcoms.

Arriving as a series after a successful Comedy Feeds pilot, this amiable comedy follows the misfortunes of grumpy and frustrated Josh (Josh Widdicombe) who sees no way out of his life with his flatmates, the relentlessly cheerful Owen (Elis James) and childhood friend Kate (Beattie Edmondson). A pool party invitation horrifies Josh as he can't swim ("swimming is not about fun, it's about survival"), while Kate learns that she has a reputation as a bad kisser.

Radio Times review

This is the harmless - if unremarkable - sitcom from Josh Widdicombe, who you may recognise as the squeaky-voiced Hobbit one from Channel 4's The Last Leg.

Based around a London flat-share, it charts the misadventures of the gawky Josh, his Welsh, laddish mate Owen and the "emotionally damaged" Kate, who this week must navigate a sexy pool party - but oh no, Josh can't swim! - and the revelation that Kate kisses like a blender. Jack Dee also features as an intrusive, socially inept landlord.

If you've never seen a sitcom in your life, prepare to be wowed. Otherwise, there's nothing here you haven't seen before - only then it was probably done better, sharper and quicker.
