Conspiracy theories, sex education, psychotherapy, colonoscopies, astrology and kangaroo saliva. These are just a handful of the obstacles that the Brockman family must negotiate in the third series of the multi-award winning comedy Outnumbered.
In this new series Karen busies herself recreating Britain’s Got Talent and introduces her family to the wonderful world of superstition, Ben tackles the school chess league in his own ineffable style and mum worries that Jake’s healthy interest in the girl-next-door is turning unhealthy.
Meanwhile, Dad is grumbling about an ailment that much to the children’s amusement, may require some invasive investigation. To make things even more uncomfortable, Gran has come to stay and made the family a generous offer that may be difficult to refuse.

Format:DVD
The third series of this fantastically good comedy show actually gets off to a slightly slow start. Episode One is a family outing, filmed on location around London and although it's still good (and far better than most TV comedy) doesn't quite come up to the wonderful standard of previous episodes. But don't worry, the remainder of the series is absolutely terrific, with the great, relentlessly logical Karen, Ben's utterly believable high-energy bonkers-ness and Jake now beginning to grow up and be interested in girls. There's also a very welcome return of the excellent Samantha Bond as Sue's insufferably smug sister Angela.
Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin are two of our very best comedy writers, and their writing in this series is still absolutely top-class. They have the ability to produce real belly-laughs while also showing great understanding and a genuine affection for their characters, and this bedrock of recognisable people and situations beneath the comedy is one of the things which makes Outnumbered exceptionally good and immensely popular.
The other thing is the performances, of course. The young actors improvise a good deal of the dialogue, which makes it incredibly lifelike because they talk like people their own age rather than adults in children's bodies as so often happens, and they do it absolutely brilliantly. Tyger Drew-Honey as Jake is particularly good in this series, I think. Claire Skinner and Hugh Dennis also turn in great comic performances while remaining the programme's solid centre. Their unflashy excellence is a real joy.
If you already know Outnumbered, you won't need me to recommend this set - although I do, very strongly - and if you haven't yet discovered Outnumbered, there's a real treat in store for you here. It's brilliant.

Yes, they are back, we have here a new series of this classic sit-com. This time around the house has been put on the market with hopes of a sale. Pete is waiting to have a colonoscopy, and everyone seems to have heard about him waiting to have a camera shoved up his bum, indeed Ben wants the film so that he can show his class.
With an appearance of Pete's mum who wishes to give them some money, her secret habit eventually comes out into the open. Jake is now that little bit older and is really taking an interest in the ladies (any man can still surely remember those years), and causes consternation with his mother when she finds that he has a picture of one of his teachers - topless. Also Sue's sister is visiting from the States, with her usual oddballness. Ben and Karen are just as funny as ever. Karen really shows how superstitious she can be, and when she is invited to umpire a tennis game she shows how good she would be at Wimbledon.
If you have never watched any of the programmes before then it is really time that you did, because you have been missing out on something hilarious. If you have children you can really empathise with Sue and Pete.

This 3rd series is awesome! Bigger, better and funnier than ever! I seriously hope there is a fourth series as my entire family and me have laughed for three years over this great british sitcom! The acting, humour and style is great along with the awesome improvisation! The kids are funnier than ever! I highly recommend it!

Excellent entertainment
Another excellent series which kept me entertained throughout. The children are so watchable and funny. They appear to be enjoying themselves and don't overact.

One of the best comedies for years.
If you have not seen this series, and the previous 2, you must. One of the best comedies for years, and much more original than the basic scenario, couple with 3 kids, suggests. Read more
