Description
Release Date: 24 September 2007
When Jimmy Venables' ex-wife volunteers to go to Africa to help the victims of a natural disaster, weekend-dad Jimmy volunteers to take care of their two teenaged kids full time. Unfortunately, his posh mother-in-law Diana sees Jimmy as the true natural disaster and virtually moves in to keep order, keep an eye on things and undermine Jimmy whenever possible. Add to this a daughter who's growing up too quickly and a son who refuses to grow up at all, and you get a sense of the challenges Jimmy faces as he tries to be a real father on a daily basis. But that's okay, Jimmy never met a challenge he hasn't confronted head on... and been crushed by.

Lyndhurst Does it Again
If you're a fan of Nicolas Lyndhurst then you are going to love this comedy. It's not your usual dysfunctional family, it kind of has a twist. Take out the mum and throw in the grandmother or in Nicolas Lyndurst's character case, the dreaded mother-in-law. Both Nicholas Lyndurst and Celia Imrie play off each other brilliantly. I couldn't see another pair working so well together in these roles. Lyndhurst plays a reformed drunk finally getting his life back on track only to be thrown into fatherhood again as his Ex wife leaves to go overseas to help flooded victims in Africa. His overbearing Mother-in-law (Celia Imrie) hates his guts and wants to make life as miserable as possible whilst they both try and look after two children - teenagers too. The plots are well designed and somehow you hate them and then you love them. There isn't really an annoying character throughout the series. The son, played by Ryan Sampson, makes for a funny, but kind of creepy character for a brother. His character is very reminiscent of the eldest son in the BBC My Family comedy and yet this show has ties to this series. So I would expect some similarities. The daughter is a typical teenage daughter worrying about boys and such. No one stands out as being over the top so each character is even quite believable. Give this one a go, I can guarantee you laugh a lot.
