Looking for the name of a show

I remember watching it here in the States when I was a kid on my local PBS station in the 1980s. To the best of my recollection it was about a husband & wife whose four grown children (two boys & two girls) still live at home with them. Does anyone have any idea of the name of the show?

Was it a British show? Could be No Place Like Home?

I remember Martin CLunes in that.

Was that the show with William Gaunt in?

Yes and yes. Clunes was supposed to be a punk, if I remember rightly, which infuriated me at the time and Gaunt was very different to his Champions persona. It was the sort of My Family of the 80s.

I like William Gaunt. But he always looks very haggard to me.

Yeah, sort of a bit... gaunt.

Thanks for explaining my admittedly lame joke, Dolly! :P

I was running with it. Admittedly with a limp - it being so lame and that. :)

Michael Sharvell-Martin is great. He's been the Theatre Royal Windsor's panto dame for a couple of years now and is very good.

Aaron goes to panto? Explains.

Of course! Pantos are wonderful.

Eureka! Now I understand why you like the sitcoms you like.
