DVD Description
‘Firmly established as a jewel in the BBC's comedy crown..’
The Daily Mail “It remains by a long distance the finest mainstream British sitcom of recent years...’
The Guardian Herein lies all four series and the 2009 Christmas special of Britain’s favourite comedy series, Outnumbered. That’s four school years of spookily familiar and often bafflingly surreal family dilemmas, traversed by Pete and Sue Brockman and their brood.
From the seemingly innocent, “can I have a biscuit?” to progressive theological debate, “what would Jesus do if someone stole his mobile?” Outnumbered has redefined the family comedy by bringing it closer to home.
2009 Christmas Special“It's Boxing Day in the Brockman household and Santa has paid a visit, along with some burglars. While Mum and Dad try to maintain some festive spirit, Ben wreaks havoc with a mechanical hand, Jake argues the case for pirated music and Karen is busy writing New Year’s resolutions - not for herself, but for the rest of the family, and Barack Obama.
With guests arriving, some welcome, some not, the pressure is on Dad to get lunch on the table. But where’s Grandad?”
