Put-upon dentist Ben Harper (Robert Lindsay) is long suffering husband to Susan (Zoe Wannamaker) and father to three very different and often difficult children - nice but dim Nick (Kris Marshall) shopaholic student Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe) and prodigy Michael (Gabriel Thomson). The episodes: 'A Serpent's Tooth' 'A Pain In The Class' 'Droit De Seigneur Ben' 'The Last Resort' 'A Farewell To Alarms' 'Death Takes A Policy' 'The Awkward Phase' and 'Much Ado About Ben'.
Stand-up comedian Sean Hughes wrote and starred as a fictionalised version of himself aware of the fact he was living in a sitcom. The show poked fun at the 'standard sitcom' with a series of running gags such as constantly killing off characters and have them return as their 'identical twin'!
