COMEDY

BBC1, 10.35pm

There’s a hint of Miranda to this comedy pilot, which is unsurprising when the hero of the piece is a wellmeaning but hapless chap, prone to accidents and landing himself in unusual and often somewhat dangerous situations.

A touch of Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em, too – both of which are pretty good omens, if you ask us.

Comedian Spencer Jones is the eponymous Mr Leslie Winner, who is planning to propose to his girlfriend Jemma on a mini-break to London.

Unfortunately he hasn’t quite twigged that – even though she loves him and he makes her laugh – Jemma is wondering if Leslie is serious and grown-up enough, or if she should call things off.

Her dad Chris (Shaun Williamson) is also fond of Leslie and supports his attempts to woo his daughter.

Mind you, he’s quite peculiar himself, with his penchant for children’s colouring books and his obsession for koi carp.

Also guest starring Romesh Ranganathan, this daft, gentle and funny half hour has been written by Hospital People creator and Russell Brand’s best pal Matt Morgan.
