Synopsis
The sixth series of this phenomenally successful family comedy sees Ben getting his house (and his life) back as the kids move away. But then it starts filling up again. Nick may still be away, but Janey's back and spending more time at the Harpers than in her flat, Michael's still very much in residence and now Susan seems to have adopted Nick's friend, Alfie, who came for Christmas. With regular visits from mother-in-law Grace thrown in, it's no surprise that Ben starts taking refuge in dental conferences.

Bought this for my 10 year old daughter for chrismas, she now has the whole set (barring series 8).
These are great entertainment for children of my daughters age (10) and for all the family to sit and watch together.
I certainly would recommend.

The Harpers return in the sixth series of the long-running "Britcom" series, starring Ben (Robert Lindsay), his wife Susan (Zoe Wanamaker), children Michael and Janey, neice Abi, her boyfriend and fellow dentist Roger Bailey and new addition to the cast, Alfie Butts (who was introduced in the 2005 Christmas special).
There's all the usual hilarious situations going on, including Ben attacking cyclists and joining a gay brotherhood, Susan joins a pyramid selling scheme, Janey dates a dentist whilst Michael dates a girl who is scarily similar to his mother and Roger is getting closer to popping the question to Abi.
Even though this series is very funny, it seems to not be at the high level of quality it was in the first four or five series. For example - Aflie, although can be quite funny, is a completely pointless character, seeming to only be there to fill the gap of Nick's dopey character (Kris Marshall left the show after series four). Abi and Roger come across as a little too stupid, making them feel a lot less believable. Also having so many extra characters in the house all the time makes the show feel a little over-run by non-family members (isn't the point of the show to be focused on the family?). Ben (in my opinion the best character) is also absent from 2 of the episodes.
Another problem with series 6 is that there are only 7 episodes, making you feel that you have been a little short-changed as the price is exactly the same as the previous 14 episode, 2 disc series.
Overall, although not the strongest, funniest or best series of 'My Family', it is still one of the best British comedy series for a long time and is always great fun to watch with a lot of guaranteed laughs.

my family is a great comedy utilising the problems that normal families have in everyday life. the characters are played by a great cast which include robert lindsay. if you have never seen my family before then i would strongly urge you to watch it as its a comedy that reaches out to anyone. the comedy is fine for children however some of the jokes they may not appreciate. great as a gift and great to just buy for yourself well worth the purchase and this is a series that you can watch over and over so good value for money as well

My Family Season 6 Review
You would think that after 6 years of a comedy series airing, it would get a bit boring, that they would have used up all their humour. This isnt the case for My Family. Read more

The dodgiest series yet!
Series 5 was excellent, living up to the supreme standards set previously. However, this series loses itself a bit. Firstly, Nick has now left permanently. Read more

Oh! The Humanity!
Pity us poor colonialist on the other side of the pond who have no relief but to watch only Seasons 1 & 2 of "My Family". Take pity on the Bush-whacked (sic) heathen! Read more
