Channel 4 comedy Home, about a family in Dorking who encounter and befriend a Syrian asylum seeker, is written by Rufus Jones and stars Jones, Rebekah Staton and Youssef Kerkour.

People have compared it to Paddington, but don't worry writer Jones has already neatly addressed that in the opening epsidoe.

Offbeat, quirky and often delivered at breakneck speed, take a leap into the unknown with Paul F Taylor's blend of daft character comedy, animal impersonations, and surreal story-telling. Expertly keeping the Comedy Police at bay, (but falling foul of that pesky Gorilla) this mad-cap, curly haired comic executes his material with both admirable skill and silliness.
