Trivia

Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish

Edit
On 18th December 2017 Dave Gorman announced in a lengthy post on his blog that he had ended the show after five series as making the show was so labour-intensive it was making him ill. He revealed that he had fainted on-stage during the filming of the sixth episode of the first series as they had only allowed two weeks between each block of filming two episodes. Despite extending the period between filming blocks to nine weeks for series five Dave was still working 40-50 hours for three weeks and 100+ hours a week for three weeks on each episode - with the creation of 300-500 PowerPoint slides per episode being particularly labour-intensive.
In one episode Dave makes a reference to his "creepy laugh" which is a throw back to his stand up entitled Googlewhack Adventures.
Four episodes were recorded for the sixth series, but only three were broadcast; one episode, chiefly drawing on the cult hero status of TV presenter Gregg Wallace, was filmed and completed just as news broke that Wallace was the subject of multiple accusations of inappropriate behaviour. The interconnected structure and flow of the episode's routine meant that it could not be salved by removing all mentions of Wallace, but two excerpts were able to be lifted out of the episode and were made available as "bonus bits" on the broadcaster's streaming service.
