Out of date

Some areas need to be renewed, for example '3 series are released on DVD' when actually 4 and 2 chritmas specials are and 'Series 4 is to be aired in 2011'. Its spoken in te future tense when it should be in the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruno Russell (talk • contribs) 14:29, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice where the outdated things are in the article. Please feel free to fix what needs to be fixed. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 21:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Future

The opening of the article states "More specials are planned after the success of the 2016 Christmas special". However this comes from a Digital Spy report of a 2017 interview with Hugh Dennis, and as far as I can see there was speculation in 2019 of a new special, but no concrete news since then. I wonder therefore if the statement needs to be modified to say while it was reported in 2017 that more specials were planned, so far none have been made. Alternately it might be that this should be moved to another part of the article or removed entirely. Dunarc (talk) 19:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion in Category:British television series revived after cancellation

I am not sure that the article should be in Category:British television series revived after cancellation. As far as I can see there is nothing in the article to indicate that it was ever cancelled. While there was a gap between the final regular series and the last special, this is not uncommon for sitcoms in the UK. Dunarc (talk) 23:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Emily Berrington

Why isn't Emily Berrington mentioned as a cast member of Outnumbered? She was a prominent cast member in at least three episodes. Could one of you Wikipedia "editor" dweebs please fix this omission? 2A00:23EE:2070:4E50:208B:87FA:DC82:7E60 (talk) 23:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
