Created and written by Tom Basden (currently also playing Diane Morgan’s long-suffering benefits adviser in BBC Two’s Mandy), Here We Go follows the Jessops – an extended suburban family from Bedford. Dad Paul (Jim Howick) is a lowly police officer with some of David Brent’s unmerited self-importance; mum Rachel (Katherine Parkinson) is manically trying to hold everything together; sardonic daughter Amy (Freya Parks) supposedly lives with her girlfriend but rarely seems to be out of the family kitchen; and Paul’s mum Sue (Alison Steadman, exchanging Pam Shipman’s Essex accent for her native Liverpool one) is the out-of-touch Boomer.

Jude Morgan-Collie has the least fulfilling role as the rarely glimpsed film-student son Sam, who’s recording the whole shebang with his video camera. As a gimmick, this makes Here We Go no different from mockumentaries like The Office and Modern Family, with characters addressing the camera with witty rejoinders or, more often, an expressive glance.

Like Not Going Out, each episode is a well-worked farce – although unlike Mack’s increasingly laboured and theatrical plots, these storylines are more rooted in recognisable everyday life. Episode one sees Paul and Rachel being given a wedding anniversary present of a trip to an escape room (“That’s what a marriage is… one big escape room with everyone looking for a way out,” Amy cynically remarks). In the event, the Jessops can’t even escape their own house after Sue locks them in; she’s taken the fobs to the home’s newly installed smart locks with her while she goes shopping.
