Documentary-maker Roy Mallard is back on assignment recording the working-lives of 'people like us' Britain's under-acknowledged professionals. But true to form, his sincere attempts at fly-on-the-wall reporting are turned upside-down as he manages to bring out the worst in his subjects and to become the unwitting protagonist in their stories. Mallard's knack of driving his interviewees to distraction with erratic questioning and senseless, convoluted commentary will have you cringing and laughing out loud at his idiocy. In Series 2 of the BBC's classic mockumentary series, People Like Us, Mallard tests the faith of a country vicar (Michael Fenton-Stevens: KYTV), becomes a stand-in nanny for a young mother suffering from sleep-deprivation (Tamsin Greig: Black Books) and finds a tenuous link between actors and 'people like us' (with David Tennant: LA Without a Map). Langham's deadpan personification of a well-intentioned but socially-inept documentary-maker is so convincing that the BBC received complaints in both the first and second series about his inappropriate commentary, unprofessional antics and appalling use of the English language.
