Ahead of the new series, Digital Spy spoke to Dave Gorman about his work routine, choosing channels and in particular: copyrighted postcards (which is crying out for a Powerpoint presentation of its own).

It really was all-consuming. This was the first World Cup since I was a teenager that has passed me by completely. Didn't watch a single game.

Channel Dave has ordered two extended length new series of the stand-up show Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish.
British Comedy Guide, 27th January 2014The pedant's pedant, Dave Gorman, continues to convey his incredulity at the modern world. This week, he shouts about reviews for dishwasher tablets and surveys conducted to discover the amount of women that agree they have achieved voluptuous lips from using certain lipsticks. There are moments of amusement but also moments already touched upon by other comics, Adam Buxton's BUG show springing immediately to mind. Still, there are laughs to be had.

Basically, a lot of people want to know about my "lookalike".

In his new series, Modern Life is Goodish, Dave Gorman tries to make sense of the absurdities of our age. But where to begin?
Dave Gorman, The Telegraph, 24th September 2013Dave Gorman's Episode 2 blog
It couldn't have panned out the way it did if we'd had lawyers demanding scripts in advance. Weirdly, it's the fact that they accepted the idea of honing the stuff live - and without a paper trail of words for them to stay on top of - that meant tonight's show was able to contain the surprise it does.

It's the information age - so why is there so much misinformation around? Dave Gorman searches for the truth.
Ian Burrell, The Independent, 22nd September 2013Dave Gorman: Modern strife and how to deal with it
I've loved making Modern Life Is Goodish for Dave. Instead of shouting at the telly, I get to shout on the telly.
Dave Gorman, The Mirror, 20th September 2013Modern Life Is Goodish (Dave) reckons Dave Gorman, and he's probably right.
Gorman was having a pop at the lunatic fringes of the web, chanelling the Grumpy Old Men franchise and selling himself as a Grumpy Youngish Man.
It would have made a neat 15-minute sketch but fell into the trap of its own title. Given a whole hour to play with, Gorman jovially ranted on and on, squeezing every last drop of his ire until it all became a tad wearisome.
He got really worked up about Alan Sugar, leap years and the way that clocks for sale always point to 10.08 because it makes the clock face look happy.
If ever there was an indication of a man who's got too much time on his hands, then this was it.
Gorman is a funny guy but he could do with pointing his anger at some bigger targets.
