I don't watch much TV and I normally despise "family" sitcoms - with all that phoney precocious scripting forced on the kids and the canned laughter, but this has something special. I think it's because it's partially improvised and the kids have been allowed to be more natural and real.
Favourite quotes:
Karen (7) (after a despute with her brother Ben) "He called me lezza, which I really don't like, and a tosspiece!"
Ben (9) (after having his room tidied up) "What the hell have you done to my room?!! ...it's full of ...floor!"
Oh no, my cosy little thread has suddenly taken a nose-dive into the abyss of disapproval !
Not "ok" Leviathon ! Everyone's supposed to agree with me!
Ok folks, the party's been a perfect disaster and you'll all have to leave...out, OUT !
