Al kicks off at the '80s

(ITVX now) **** YOU'RE aware, I take it, that comedian Alan Carr's dad Graham used to be a football manager?

CHANGING ENDS
Alan's mentioned it often enough.

Well, this new six-part sitcom takes us back to the '80s, the latter half of which Graham spent as boss of Northampton Town FC, then in English football's fourth tier.

Alan was just a kid at the time, but it was already pretty clear he wouldn't be following in his father's footsteps.
