A fascinating format with the endlessly likable Tom Allen, clearly heavily inspired by the long-running BBC Radio 4 show hosted by Mark Steel where he travels from town-to-town doing stand-up about the place to its residents. Allen's TV equivalent does this but also mixes in a bit of a variety shtick to it and adds a curiously underused celebrity assistant into the mix. Frankly I'm a fan of this sort of in-focus localism so I'm not so bothered by the pilfering and Allen is die-cast for this sort of thing but it's sadly likely this pilot won't go further for a while yet due to the virus and so forth.
