Outnumbered

Squid Game

Netflix

Not Going Out, the longest running sitcom in Britain still on air, is set to make a comeback for its 14^th series. Lee Mack (8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown) stars in and co-writes the show, which he also created. It follows a fictional version of the comedian as he bumbles, lazily, through marriage and parenthood, armed solely with his wits.

Hugh Dennis (Mock the Week) and Claire Skinner (Coma) will return as Sue and Pete, the parents of three unruly children, who have now fled the nest and are living independent lives as adults.

Tyger Drew-Honey (Cuckoo), Daniel Roche (Just William), and Ramona Marquez (The King’s Speech) will return as Jake, Ben, and the iconic younger sibling Karen.

Modern Family - Netflix

Sitcom Modern Family revolves around the lives of three diverse families living in LA, headed by matriarch Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill), along with his two children Claire (Julie Bowen) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). 

March 2020 was a month like no other in television. Concern that staff might become infected by Covid-19 brought rapid changes as broadcasters cancelled filming on some of their biggest shows. For what is believed to be the first time in more than half a century, even the set of Coronation Street went dark.

Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes

BBC One, 6:30pm

Based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name, Revolting Rhymes is a collection of delightful stories that have been turned into an animated two-part series.

The Narrator Wolf tells the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow-White, Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Cinderella.

It's been three years since Outnumbered was on our screens, but this Christmas brings us a 40-minute special of the BBC One comedy.

It's Boxing Day and the Brockman family have to carry out a special mission for Grandad. They encounter many problems along the way and if the adults can't sort things out the children will have to. Starring Claire Skinner and Hugh Dennis this is sure to be a Christmas favourite. Hugh Dennis has said: "I can't wait to re-join our TV nucleus, and what better place to experience the full joy of family life than stuck in the family car."

The show lampoons the political communication and social media industry, mocking both In and Out EU-referendum campaigners, as well as the Donald Trump media team and the media team at the Kremlin.

Jack Dee and Claire Skinner (Outnumbered) form part of a stellar cast and play part of the pro-Europe ‘Unity Unit’ in Conservative HQ.
