Home From Home preview
The latest pilot in the BBC's Landmark Sitcom series, Home From Home is a warm, gentle affair, much down to the likeability of Johnny Vegas as a hapless beta-male, trying his best for his family.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th August 2016TV review: Home From Home, BBC2
If the Landmark Sitcom Season was planning to promote edgy modern comedy the wait is still on. Home From Home might not be as old hat as Are You Being Served?[/ but there is nothing very new about it.
