Sue is still upset with Pete, after his indiscretion. When Sue agues with another Parent, on the way to school, Karen is hit by a car.
BBC's family comedy following a beleaguered mother and father of three.
Jake's not the same now he's an angst-ridden teenager. My favourite has to be Ben though - his attempt to scare a pigeon with a pciture of a cat clinched it for me. What about you?
I have to say - that was just awfull. I wonder if it was recorded in front of a studio audience, and no-one laughed! I smiled a couple of times, especially about the dwarf jokes - but that was it. I guess I'll stick with it for the rest of the week, see if it gets any better. It can… More hardly get much worse
I'm yet to watch Outnumbered. I keep putting it off because there are so many other family comedies out there that I already enjoy. Is Outnumbered worth all the acclaim? Why should I give it a go? I worry it'll be just more of the same...
A brilliant comedy with brilliantly played parts.
About Two parents bringing up their three kids with all the problems most parents will be all to familiar with. Questions that are asked innocently but you know you can't answer truthfully, misbehavior, bedtime struggles. Some of the comedy in this show is second to none. There's easily a laugh a minute. Karen is my personal favorite. She always has something to say, whatever the situation. Then there's Ben. the hardest one to control, always full of energy and misbehaving. And finally Jake. The eldest in secondary school starting dating but wont admit it. Thinks he's responsible.
If you ever have time look out for this show. You won't regret it. This is comedy that won't age!
This show is an instant British classic! The improvisational nature really works in the hands of all of the cast! ***** hide show
I was first drawn to watch this show as Hugh Dennis was attached and after his impossibly brilliant portrayal of Dr. Piers Crispin in 'My Hero' (might i add the saving grace of that programme) and his regularly hilarious appearances on 'Mock The Week', the concept of him starring in a part-improvised Sitcom (without canned laughter) seemed too good to be true. Indeed the idea of an improvised script (poosibly borrowed from HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm') which involved children, brought a new twist!
Upon watching the series my expectations were totally surpassed. Not only does it appear that this programme could have been filmed around a real-life family, but Hugh Dennis (Pete) and Clare Skinner (Sue) are quite possibly outdone by Ramona Marquez (Karen) and Daniel Roche (Ben), two young actors who have potentially good careers ahead of them! From Ben's calling his dad a stranger in public to Karen's toy version of panel-based reality-tv competitions, every episode had me in fits of laughter, which isn;t detracted upon repeat viewings!!
This truely is the British sitcom gem that we have been waiting for and all we can do now is play the waiting game for series 2!!
