Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Just about everything

Despite having an ardent dislike for the first series of this ponsy show, I decided to try to get into the second series, spurred on by the fact a dooyoo review would pay for some tele viewing. I didn't last all the way through it and Series 2 only emphasised by hatred for this acclaimed comedy.

The mother is infuriating, the story lines are what you'd expect to find in a sit com with everyday things taking place as well as bigger events like weddings and hospital visits.

Hysterical middle class Surrey based family, the father Ben played by Hugh Dennis continues his smug and irritating persona from "My Hero" and the children who are undoubtedly the focus of the show are spoilt and irritating, if watching kids being themselves now passes for comedy then why not just go to a playground?

This show may have won over critics for being a little bit different but it's tacky and most of the time embarassing to watch. I personally can't think of a worse sitcom to grace the screens. It's attempts to show parent-children relations in this mollycoddled manner whilst being quite realistic to some is just so pathetic and the kind of things you cringe at when you come across such families. Not the kind of thing, I want to see on TV! God help us - there's an up and coming 3rd series.

Summary: Awful
