How Not To Live Your Life

There are an absolute maximum of three laugh-out-loud moments in this self-conscious and crass studenty sitcom, which co-stars Sinead Moynihan, slumming it here after her stint in BBC3's criminally underrated Drop Dead Gorgeous. So if you're content with a hit-rate of one laugh every 10 minutes, tune in to Dan Clark's comedy about an idiotic, priapic bloke who is left a house by his foul-mouthed nan. If, however, you fancy more charm, hunt down early 1990s US sitcom Dream On on DVD.

BBC Interview

The BBC News website interviews Dan Clark about his new sitcom.

First based on a series of shorts made for Paramount Comedy, 10 months have been spent perfecting How Not To Live Your Life following the pilot's first broadcast last year. While it's not a laugh-a-minute, it is worth watching for the many fantasy sequences that are simply too debauched for us to put into print.

Time Out Interview

Dan Clark tells Time Out how not to make a bad sitcom.

Hurrah - yet another comedy series gets a chance to stretch its legs on BBC Three. This offering, penned by star Dan Clark, follows the fortunes of Don. He's your average neurotic singleton who spends his days trying to make a sense of ordinary life.

You might know him as Johnny Two Hats in The Mighty Boosh, but now comedian, actor and writer Dan Clark stars in his own sitcom. He plays Don, a twentysomething man with bad luck like you'd never believe - and even worse instincts. If you've ever dreamt of telling your boss exactly what you think of them, or wish you could say what you really thought after a one-night stand, this comedy will satisfy your itch as Don's overactive imagination conjures up all the things he wishes he'd said.

Following a successful pilot last year, this comedy of errors returns for a full squirm-inducing series. The multi-talented Dan Clark writes the series and also stars as the hapless Don, whose imagination tends to run away with him - giving us the chance to see the things he really wishes he'd said or done in certain situations.
