So What Now?

The World of Lee Evans is a BAFTA-nominated television comedy series written by and starring Lee Evans. It was produced by Granada Television for Channel 4 and aired four episodes (featuring two stories each) in June 1995. Channel 4 announced that The World of Lee Evans was officially cancelled after the first series.

The series followed Lee around getting stuck in tight situations - its humour, which differs greatly from Evans' later stand-up material, contains many elements of slapstick, and the show is similar in style to Mr. Bean. It won a cult following but has received a very mixed reception in retrospect with some critics and fans comparing it unfavourably to his other work.^[1]

The series' slogan is If Lee Evans needs to get from A to B, he starts at Z....

• "The Late Night Shift"/"Meet the Folks" (2 June 1995)
  • In "The Late Night Shift", Evans works his first nightshift in a 24-hour garage, though he has problems with his first customer. Evans has problems delivering him a packet of crisps, a drink's can and a cassette tape.
  • In "Meet the Folks", Lee Evans believes he has arrived at his girlfriend's house, though whilst she is getting ready to see Evans, he must occupy his time making a good image of himself for her parents. Unfortunately, Evans embarrasses himself, and it turns out eventually he has visited the wrong house.
