This Is David Lander

1980s British tv comedy series

David Lander is an investigative journalist always following interesting scandals, but not always with good results.

This is David Lander was a very interesting idea for comedy series - the parody of investigative journalism is something you don’t see often. Or never to be precise. The TV series was based on a radio show Delve Special (also starring Stephen Fry) and consisted some of the stories from radio scripts. There was plan to make a second season, but Stephen Fry was unavailable and the second series was renamed This is David Harper since the main character has changed.

Beside original idea the series also was kept in a quite entertaining manner which, thanks to Stephen Fry’s personality created very good show. Some stories were better, some worse, but overall it was a good entertainment.
