Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker star in a multi-award winning comedy by acclaimed U.S. sitcom writer Fred Barron, whose credits include Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, and Caroline in the City. / Ben, played by Robert Lindsay, is a moderately successful family man whose occupation as a dentist is entirely appropriate for someone whose life seems akin to pulling teeth. As Ben himself says, "It's not that I don't like my children... it's just that I'm frightened of them." His quick-witted wife, Susan, played by Zoe Wanamaker, works as a London tour guide – and while she deems herself a master cook, her family have devised an emergency code system to warn when something suspicious, like Hawaiian Medley Surprise, is on the table. / Eldest son Nick, played by Kris Marshall, 19, is enjoying a year off after school, but spends most of it sprawling on the sofa and plotting get-rich-quick schemes rather than looking for a real job. Daughter Janey, played by Daniela Denby-Ashe is 16 going on 25, sharp as a tack, and full of teenage angst with a keen interest in designer clothes and boys – as long as they aren't her brothers. The baby of the family, Michael, played by Gabriel Thomson, is a bright and sensible 12-year-old whose world revolves around his computer. Currently 8.7/10
