BBC comedy – now a modern classic – about parents Pete and Sue fighting to get the upper hand bringing up their three children. Starring Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner. Rather than playing it just for gags, this part-improvised comedy, written by Drop the Dead Donkey creators Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, reflects the realities of family life, concentrating on those everyday botch-ups that happen when parents are desperately trying to raise their kids to become well-rounded individuals.
