Synopsis
Welcome to the eighth series of this popular BBC sitcom in which Robert Lindsay plays put-upon dentist Ben Harper. Ben tries valiantly to juggle his professional life with a chaotic home life with his demanding wife Susan (Zoe Wanamaker), their children and various waifs and strays the family has picked up along the way. Lindsay and Wanamaker, both much-respected stage actors, bring a whiff of quality to the oldest of TV comedy formats, and this flagship BBC sitcom shows no signs of tiring. Roll on Series Nine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but could have been better, 17 Feb 2009
By Darren Tinmouth (South Shields, Tyne & Wear) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Im a big fan of the My Family sitcom series and already own series' 1-7 and the xmas specials so when i bought the 8th series i found it to be a bit disappointing.

In my view, the series has taken a slow turn in the wrong direction since the brilliant Kris Marshall (who played Nick) left after series 5 and now after this series, Siobhan Hayes who plays the not so bright Abi has gone too, thats 2 of the shows funniest characters gone.

Leaving them aside, the 8th series focuses more on the parents Ben and Susan and both actors Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker give the usual great performances, its a good bunch of episodes with some good laughs but you cant watch it without feeling that it is just crying out for a character like Nick to return.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Comedy for ALL the family, 12 Jul 2008
By S. Williams "swills" (Colchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the last review, I too have this on pre order, the only difference in my review is that although the first series after Kris left was a tad iffy, since then it has gone from strength to strength, S8 was very good, the downside of the DVD's are no extras, but some have been filmed recently, whether they will be on this disc of series 9 is unknown.
It is still the only sitcom that the whole family can sit down and watch safely, there is no need to resort to 'shock and awe' to try a raise a laugh, and the Chemistry between Robert & Zoe is there for all to see.
Alfie's character gets a bigger say now as well.
They have just finished fliming series 9 (2009 ?) and completes 100 episodes, pretty damn good for multi channel tv these days, and yes Christmas 2008 is a two parter, the 2nd on New Year's eve
RECOMMENDED !

4.0 out of 5 stars Back to its best!, 11 Jul 2008
By PrincessClaire (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
After a couple of dodgy series with 5 & 6, series 8 picks up from where series 7 left off continuing with the witty one-liners we love this show for. I would have given this series 5 stars had Kris Marshall joined the cast but i don't think he will be back unfortunately. One major highlight of this series however, is that it is the last we will see of the entirely unfunny Abi. She was created to be a British version of Phoebe from Friends but it just never seemed to work.
Have this on pre-order and I cannot wait for it to be delivered to complete the collection that has so far been released. They are currently filming a ninth series which is to include a Christmas special (rumoured to be a 2 parter) so we have that to look forward to. After that who knows but here's hoping we will have many more years of this fantastic family based comedy.
