My Family
MY FAMILY is the hugely popular British sitcom that takes an entertaining look at life in the Harper household.
Robert Lindsay (Me & My Girl, Citizen Smith GBH, Jake’s Progress) stars as Ben Harper, a moderately successful family man and dentist. He is also undergoing a mid-life crisis and trying to cope with the bizarre reality of raising teenage children. His wife Susan (Zoe Wanamaker) seems quite happy, enjoys her job as a London tour guide, however at home her ability to find her way around a cookbook or pantry is less successful.
Their three children Nick, Janey, and Michael are as different as chalk and cheese. Nick (19) is on his gap year, but doesn’t get much further than the sofa or job centre, Janey is as sharp as a tack and 16 going on 25, while Michael is a very bright, computer-nerdish 12 year old who is just discovering girls.
Created by Fred Barron (Seinfeld, Caroline in the City, The Larry Sanders Show) MY FAMILY was written by a team of English and American writers and was produced by DLT Entertainment UK Ltd. in association with Rude Boy Productions for BBC ONE.
MY FAMILY was nominated for and won numerous awards including the TV Quick Award as Best Comedy and the National Television Award for Most Popular Comedy Programme in the UK.
