OUTNUMBERED
BOXING DAY, 9.40PM, BBC1 COMEDY
Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of mirth, merriment and madcap escapades as the chaotic Brockman clan return in a seasonal special of BBC1 sitcom Outnumbered.
Last seen on our screens eight years ago, parents Pete and Sue (played by real-life couple Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner) are now struggling to adjust to their new downsized home. Meanwhile, their three children – Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey), Ben (Daniel Roche) and Karen (Ramona Marquez) – are all grown-ups and leading their own busy lives.
Keen to capture the magic of Christmas, Pete and Sue gather their family, which now includes a grandchild, for a traditional yuletide. Cue neighbours, bus- replacement services and, er, hyenas getting in the way!
Here, Tyger, 28, Daniel, 25, and Ramona, 23, take a trip down memory lane…
Outnumbered ran for five series between 2007 and 2014, with a Christmas special in 2016. Do you recall the moment you first met?
DANIEL I vaguely remember us sitting in the living room of the house we filmed the pilot in, and just being a kid with kid thoughts, unaware of what was going to occur in the coming years.
