Truly dire - comedy means more than a star name!

For a period in the mid nineties in America, you could have your own sitcom, with your name as the title, as long as you were famous - regardless of whether you were actually funny. For some reason ITV decided it would be a good idea to copy this, and gave Davina McCall (a popular and likable TV presenter, but by no means an actress) her own show. They didn't go as far as calling the show 'Davina', but presumably we were meant to think this show, and Sam, were based on her life. Maybe they thought Davina McCall was popular enough that people would enjoy watching her and not notice she couldn't act for toffee... it didn't work, and unsurprisingly, Davina has stuck to presenting since this embarrassingly unfunny show died a death. It didn't do much for the career of her co-star, popular stand-up comic Ed Byrne, either.
