Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish

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.
