Tyger Drew-Honey says co-stars are like a real family

Tyger Drew-Honey, star of BBC comedy Outnumbered, reckons that his co-stars Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez, who play his sibling Ben and Karen, have become like a real family to him.

Its days are numbered, but for now it's still funny

Outnumbered launched series three with an episode that was as snappy and fast-paced as usual.

Another chance to catch the first episode of series three of the delightful family sitcom starring Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner. Gran takes the Brockmans on an outing to London. Needless to say it's an agonising day: daughter Karen (Ramona Marquez) thinks modern art is rubbish; Ben (Daniel Roache) plays "spot the chav" and stabs one of the Trafalgar Square lions with a ruler; and older brother Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) suffers serious trauma when he is unable to send a text message. A fourth series is slated for later this year.

Another chance to catch the first episode of the third series of the family sitcom that reinvented family sitcoms. We rejoin the Brockmans on a sightseeing day out in London. Scarily precocious Karen (Ramona Marquez) is grumbling that she wants to go somewhere 'more World War Two-ish', while uncontrollable Ben (Daniel Roche) is climbing on one of the Trafalgar Square lions and stabbing it with a ruler. "Die!" he shouts. "Die, Aslan, die!" Throughout, dad Pete (Hugh Dennis) wears his fixed expression of pain and confusion, like a baited bear. As a portrait of parenthood, it's terrific, even when the plotting, which includes a weary old joke involving a disabled loo, lets the side down. And the dialogue is as sharp as ever. "Look, mummy," says Karen, "I used to believe in wishes and all this nonsense, but then my wish about Ben and the hyenas didn't come true."

Outnumbered returns!

Still recovering from Pete's little indiscretion in the last series of Outnumbered? Us too. Good news. It'll all be put in the past when The Brockmans return in Series 4...
