It’s an uneven episode but there are some very, very funny segments. My favourites include the top secret footage of the missile test, and the computer phone that keeps dialling the same specific wrong number over and over. Wonderful. 7/10

#ThisIsDavidLander s1e4 (1988) - 8/10
Best episode yet.
1️⃣ #TonyRobinson and #FrancesBarber are hilarious as the parents of a wrongly-imprisoned teenager.
2️⃣ But, across the board, it’s a strong episode with an elaborate story.
3️⃣ The individual skits really play around with the tropes of investigative journalist shows (hidden camera, expert testimony, obscured face/voice, on-the-street confrontation, etc.)
📺 My 240th TV episode of 2023. Averaging 2h21m of TV, per day.
For March, my #ClassicTV watchlist looks something like this:
