From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My Family is a British television Sitcom, created and co-written by Fred Barron and broadcast on BBC One. The initial cast consisted of Robert Lindsay, Zoë Wanamaker, Kris Marshall, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Gabriel Thomson, before Siobhan Hayes, Keiron Self, Rhodri Meilir and Tayler Marshall joined the series. Marshall was the only original cast member not to appear until the series' conclusion, as Denby-Ashe made a brief departure during its run before returning.

During the course of the programme, 120 episodes of My Family aired, including ten specials over eleven series, between 19 September 2000 and 2 September 2011.[1]

Comic Relief special[edit]

A special five-minute sketch, titled "The Erroneous Storm", was included as part of Comic Relief and broadcast on 11 March 2005. The story takes place during a thunderstorm in which, after being scared, Michael and Janey join Ben and Susan in their bedroom. They are soon joined by Nick who, thanks to now being a party reviewer, brings with him Adam Hart-Davis, Anthony Head, Myleene Klass, Nell McAndrew, Dermot Murnaghan, Clive Russell and Jamie Theakston. It was directed by Dewi Humphreys and written by James Hendrie and Ian Brown. The short special attracted 10.94 million viewers.[24]
