OUTNUMBERED SERIES 1,2 AND 3 + CHRISTMAS SPECIAL BOX SET [DVD]

Outnumbered is centred around the Brockmans, a middle class family living in South London, whose two parents are "outnumbered" by their three, somewhat unruly, children. 

Pete and Sue are a hard working, cash strapped couple who are hopelessly outgunned by their three children. The kids have it all covered; philosophy, politics, finance, religion, science, TV talent shows, homework... everything.

Jake, Ben and Karen are the centre of Pete and Sue's lives. And also the source of their worry, frustration, joy and bewilderment.

Part brilliant gag-packed comedy, part excruciatingly-recognisable insights into family life, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin's multi-award winning series is quite unlike any other family sitcom...

The programme has received critical acclaim for its semi-improvisational scripting and realistic portrayal of children and family life. Ratings have been average for its time slot, but the series has won a number of awards from the Comedy.co.uk awards, the Royal Television Society, the British Comedy Awards and the Broadcasting Press Guild. The first three series are available on DVD and the fourth has been broadcast in 2011.
