The Horne Section TV Show –

Thursday, Channel 4, 10pm

Little Alex Horne is sick and tired of living in the gargantuan shadow of Greg Davies. It was Horne who came up with TV hit programme Taskmaster in the first place. He’s really the brains behind it all, but his role is just that of the hapless sidekick. Davies bullies him both on screen and off. It’s just not fair, he needs to escape for the sake of his sanity. Not really. This is, after all, a self-mocking sitcom in which Horne and Davies play fictionalised versions of themselves. It follows Horne and his band, The Horne Section, as they attempt to branch out on their own. It’s all fairly charming and totally harmless, but it never raises more than a smile.
