South London parents Pete and Sue Brockman struggle to get through the day raising three rambunctious children in this British comedy series that earns high marks for its improvisational dialogue and frequent celebration of life's more mundane moments. Eldest son Jake suffers growing pains and is constantly embarrassed by his parents, energetic middle child Ben is a pathological liar, and youngest daughter Karen exhibits a curiosity that usually stops her parents dead in their tracks. Exasperated as they may become, Pete and Sue always try their best to keep their wild brood in check.
