David and Fiona's marriage comes under scrutiny as the comedy returns

- IAN MACEWAN, RICHARD MCCLURE

They say ‘the family that prays together, stays together’. However, in the household of David Lewis (The Inbetweeners’ Simon Bird), husband, father-oftwo and member of a puritanical religious sect, that is looking increasingly doubtful as Manchester-set comedy Everyone Else Burns returns.

As we rejoin the Lewis clan, attitudes to love and marriage within the order come under the spotlight when daughter Rachel (Amy James-Kelly) agrees to choose a husband from within the church, a move that prompts David’s wife Fiona (Kate O’Flynn) to reassess how suited she and her husband are as life partners.
