There was real sadness at the end in the loving tribute to Simon Carlyle, Carr’s co-writer, who died last year. But in a bleak world, this sitcom is a small splash of silliness and joy.

Season two wisely plays to the strengths it showed first time round. Young Savell’s uncanny evocation of what we imagine a young Alan must have been like is so convincing it’s almost like we’re somehow watching Carr himself.
