The Brockman family are finally back after eight years off the air.

BBC series Outnumbered follows the chaotic lives of mum Sue (Claire Skinner), a part-time personal assistant, and dad Pete (Hugh Dennis), a history teacher.

Their three eccentric kids - Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey), the eldest, Ben (Daniel Roche), the middle child and Karen (Ramona Marquez), the youngest - seriously put the parents through their paces from 2007 to 2014, with a one-off Boxing Day special in 2016.

Written, directed and produced by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, Outnumbered was praised for providing a realistic portrayal of what family life looked like in West London.

It also won a number of awards along the way, including the British Comedy Award for the Best Sitcom in 2009.

However, fans are finally getting what they wished for this Christmas in the form of a reunion and Honey has dropped a big spoiler.

The actor has revealed that there will be a new addition to the family, which means that Pete and Sue will be grandparents.

"Jake absolutely adores his child and is very much in love with the mother of his child but he has been having struggles with fatherhood as any parents of small children can relate," he told the BBC.

"Especially the lack of sleep and his daughter’s tendency to impersonate animals.

"If I had to compare her personality to either Karen or Ben when they were younger, I’d say she’s got more of a Ben personality.

"She’s got some of the genes that Ben and I got from Dad."

The youngest on-screen child, Marquez, added: "For me it’s like being back with really good friends again who you’ve known for ages and just hanging out.

"It feels very natural being back together and I look forward to seeing these guys."

While on-screen mum, Claire, said: "I was saying this morning it’s really nice relating to Tyger, Ramona and Daniel as adults, and getting to know the adult versions of them, it’s been really really nice.

"I was also thinking that if Claire and I were your actual parents I’d be thinking we’ve done a really good job," her real-life husband/co-star, Dennis, added.

"Filming this special really made me appreciate the opportunity that Outnumbered gave us and how inextricably connected it is with our lives and I’m very grateful," middle child Roche admitted.

Outnumbered is set to air on BBC One at 9:40pm on 26 December, 2024.
