Or even in the UK NOW what with poverty in the UK and food banks. Children going to school hungry and unable to concentrate. I was about Georgia's age then but when I was a child I either ate what was put in front of me or went hungry. Late Mother was old school
Briony, it’s a sitcom! Funny situation comedy. It’s clearly bypassed you. Find a sense of humour and also know this was in the 90s when people had a sense of humour and were not snowflakes.
The problem i got with this show is Penelope keiths character is just fundamentally unlikeable. She was an awful mother to her own child to which she abandoned in favour of booze and holidays which scarred him for life and she didnt really care hugely when he died. Plus by the third series they should have some kind of connection by now i would of thought but it still feels like selfish obligation. Anyhow even if they were a happy family unit by this point the history of the character still remains meaning there is no real redemption. How they could form a light hearted comedy sitcom around such a irreversible blackened past is odd.
While it may seem that parenting is all fuzzy warm, not all people are natural at parenting.I appreciate the humor in this series and expect they all care very nuch underneath the surface.
Think the family been vile to each other and the grandparents parental skill was part of the humour. After all alot of sitcoms are laughing at others misery
love this, esp Aston Hotspur comment..
I feel sorry for Daniel's future wife! :-)
Daniel sounds like another sibling of theirs.
Why oh why hasn't the BBC released this series on DVD? This and the other 5 (I think) series of 2 Point 4 Children.
Jennifer G they have now for Next of Kin.
Thanks

Little Daniel should go and live in Ethiopia for a while; he'd soon change his tune.

Jennifer G you’ve missed the point of sitcoms and you don’t understand humour.
