The Family is a channel 4 documentary that filmed a family around the clock for 100 days and nights. It was first aired in the Autumn last year but is just being repeated on More 4 at the moment. The family consists of 6 members - the dad, Simon, the Mum, Jane and their 4 kids - Jessica, Emily, Charlotte and Tom. Jessica doesn't live with them, she lives down the road with her fiancé Pat and their daughter Ruby, but often comes round for visits. The programme was shown over 8 episodes, with a Christmas special episode, making it 9 in total. It covers all sorts of events that a normal life would see.

This was without a doubt one of my favourite reality programs I have seen and it is a shame it is now over. If you missed it don't worry it can still be caught on Channel 4s website or on 4OD.

The family filmed consisted of 5 people living ... Read the complete review

I am gutted this program is now finished and also that the next series will involve a different family as The Hughes family were so hilarious to watch. Basically this family agreed to be filmed for 24 hrs a day for weeks, sort of like an English version of the Osborne's without the celebs. There were 8 episodes and it was to show the day to day goings on of the Hughes Family, it's the arguments, the love, the squabbles, the laughter its everything that every normal family go through but somehow I found this program addictive to watch and would recommend it to anyone whom is interested in fly on the wall documentaries or if you are like me a bit of a ...
