Outnumbered - The Official Best Bits
Outnumbered is centered around the Brockman family of West London, whose two parents are "outnumbered" by their three, somewhat unruly, children. The father, age forty-eight, Pete (Hugh Dennis), is a history teacher at an inner city school and the mother, age forty-five, Sue (Claire Skinner), is a part-time PA.[7] The three children are: Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey), aged thirteen, whose teenage sarcasm and obsession with girls worries his mother,[8], Ben (Daniel Roche), aged nine, who is a pathological liar, does unusual things, is constantly asking his parents if he is allowed to watch Little Britain, and is always coming up with hypothetical questions like "who would win in a fight between...",[9] and Karen (Ramona Marquez), aged seven, who asks too many questions and who imitates a lot of what she sees on television.[7][10] Other regular characters include Sue's 47 year old new age sister, Angela Morrison (Samantha Bond), and their father Frank (David Ryall), referred to as "Grandad", who is in the early stages of dementia. The writers also use the popular sitcom device of the unseen character in the form of Veronica, Sue's demanding boss in series one. In series two, the device is used again, but in the form of Sue's new boss Tyson, who is revealed to be a conman who absconds in the final episode of the series. Series three introduces Rosalind Ayres as Pete's mum, referred to as "Gran", who is addicted to online gambling and has a growing hatred for Pete's father. Other new characters in series 3 include Kelly (Anna Skellern), whom Jake has a crush on, Angela's new boyfriend Brick (Douglas Hodge), who is an American therapist, and his daughter Taylor Jean, who wants to live with her mum.[11] Also introduced is a campaigner against council plans to place speed bumps on the road who pesters the family.
