Pick of the day: Dinosaur
Quote:
10.45pm, BBC One
Mental health has been a growing subject for comedy in recent years and this promising pilot sitcom from Matilda Curtis (daughter, as it happens, of Cranford screenwriter Simon Curtis) and the producers of Fleabag centres on Nina, who is autistic. Played by Glaswegian stand-up Ashley Storrie, who has autism, it follows Nina’s attempts to find a date to take to her sister’s wedding. “Whatever you are, you’re not cut out for this world,” says her brother not unkindly. Nina finds happiness in dinosaurs and fan fiction, while her misadventures in the complex minefield of modern dating provide sharp observation allied with gentle laughs
