Russell Howard takes a stint at acting starring as Dan who takes his girlfriend Lisa to the West Country from the bright lights of cosmopolitan London to meet his eccentric and brash family for Christmas.Dan's dad is fitness obsessed, his uncle is party loving and dope taking.
This was the acting debut for the star of Mock the Week and Good News, and there were plenty of other names I recognised in the cast, I was hoping that for Christmas time it would be a good laugh. Basically Dan Colman (Russell Howard, also writing) lives in London with his girlfriend Lisa (Fresh Meat's Hannah Britland), for Christmas, Dan is taking Lisa to his hometown of Bamford in Bristol to meet his loving but madcap family.
What a shame about this one-hour special. With the cast and one of the writers being Russell Howard, this had so much going for it...
