Rob Beckett has assembled a mightily impressive cast for his brand new sitcom pilot – how many other comedians can boast that Alison Steadman and Phil Davis are playing their mum and dad?!

Rob, a regular face on TV panel shows, plays a younger version of himself, who moves back home when he runs out of money.

The only problem is his parents – who are delighted to see him, but have downsized from their spacious family house to a static caravan in Margate.

So, for the foreseeable future at least, it looks like a sofa bed and cringey campsite talent are the order of the day for Rob.

Will he see any of the charm in his new life? An endearing half hour.
