KATHRYN FLETT'S My TV week: I'm pumped up on this gym sitcom
UK writer Kathryn Flett reviews comedy Peacock, which stars Allan Mustafa as Andy, a personal trainer specialising in 'body-positivity'.
Indeed, personal trainer-cum-gymfluencer, Kara (Saffron Hocking), gives Andy a tour of Sportif Leisure’s upscale ‘flagship’ site, and reels off a list of fitness-related nonsense jargon (‘fully immersive spin studio’, ‘Zen Pilates and meditation’, ‘KPI’) which, for this critic welded to the sofa, means the comedy ‘situation’ box is already ticked. It’s written and created by Steve Stamp and Ben Murray, so there’s plenty of quality comedy provenance; they’re both members of the team who gave us the silly-funny ‘mockumentary’ series, People Just Do Nothing (big in many households containing teenagers, including mine). Peacock has a great supporting cast including Pippa Haywood (Green Wing) and Lucien Laviscount as Andy’s nemesis Jay – a long way from his role as Emily In Paris’s beau.
