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.

TV 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.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th August 2016
