Outnumbered was a beloved sitcom that first aired in 2007 and ran for five series until 2014. Fans were delighted when the BBC announced a Christmas special in aid of Children In Need, bringing back the iconic Brockman family after eight years.
The first look picture of the Brockmans was recently unveiled, showing the whole family sitting on their sofa in their famous Wandsworth home. The parents, Pete and Sue, played by Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner, will be joined by their now-adult children, Jake, Ben, and Karen, played by Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche, and Ramona Marquez.
The revival will focus on the family's lives after they have downsized their home, with the children now in their 20s and navigating their own paths. But despite their age, the Brockman kids are sure to still cause chaos and keep their parents on their toes.
The original house in Wandsworth, where the show was filmed, has not been used for the special. This has left some locals disappointed, as they enjoyed the association of the middle-class family with their neighborhood. The house, estimated to be worth £1.7 million, also saw an increase in its value due to its connection to the show.
But the special will be extra special for the cast, as Hugh and Claire are now in a real-life relationship. The two began dating in 2018, a year after their respective splits from their partners. They are excited to be reunited on-screen, with Hugh saying, "I can't wait for the Brockmans to be back together again."
The 40-minute episode will reflect the changes in the family dynamics, with the kids no longer living at home. But as Hugh points out, the chaos and comedy will still be present, just like in the original series. Claire also expressed her excitement about being reunited with her TV family, saying that working on the show doesn't feel like work at all.
The final Christmas special aired in 2016 and attracted an average of seven million viewers. Since then, fans have been begging for more, and their wishes have finally been granted with this upcoming special. The show's unique style of semi-improvised scenes, especially with the kids, made it a fan favorite and is sure to bring more laughs in this special.
Be sure to tune in to BBC One and iPlayer on November 15th at 7pm to catch the Outnumbered Christmas special and support Children In Need.
