Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish is a British comedy television show that ran for five series between 2013 and 2017, with a revival series in 2025. It was broadcast on Dave and presented by Dave Gorman. The series mainly consisted of Gorman presenting comedic PowerPoint presentations in which he attempts to argue that modern life is neither bad nor good, but "good...ish". The series began on 17 September 2013. A fifth series began airing on 31 October 2017.

Gorman announced on 18 December 2017 that the show would conclude after the final episode of series 5 aired the following night. However, in July 2024 it was announced that four brand-new hour-long specials had been ordered by UKTV for their rebranded U&Dave channel. A sixth series began airing on 24 February 2025. Despite earlier reports that it would comprise four episodes, though, it instead consisted of three, with the fourth recorded episode having been dropped since part of it featured material centring on the rise to fame of Gregg Wallace – the episode was recorded before it was reported that Wallace was under investigation following allegations of historical misconduct, which Wallace denies. Two segments of the fourth episode that don't centre on Wallace will be released as standalone features on U's streaming platform.
