The TVI Take

Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin's BBC sitcom about a London middle-class family whose three children's improvised dialogue was the show's structural commitment. The structural decision to let the child actors improvise responses to scripted-parent setups produced rare family-sitcom material where the children read as actual children rather than as miniature adults.

Significant influence on subsequent British family comedy.
