This is quite possibly the most intriguing television series I have seen for quite a long time. Why? It contains a family which quite scarily looks like my own.
I turn and look at my own household. My father (formerly in a rock band , whose one success was a record named 'Malcolm, wheres the Talcum (I don't bloody know!)' which was played by the late, great John Peel on Radio 1) is irascible, stumped by technology and constantly taking the mick out of the world. However, he hasn't bitten the head off a bat or gotten into drugs.
My mother, nitpicks and carries pets around with her everyday. She allows us to do almost everything but objects to the srangest of things. However, she is a caring, loving mother.
My sister, throws MASSIVE strops at even the hint that we are taking the mick or doing something that annoys her. I have the odd, petty squabble, usually involving throwing toffees at each other before she flounces away. She does not have a vendetta against Christina Aguilera.
I stay pretty quiet, usually listening to music or playing on my PS2 in my bedroom, while all the mayhem goes on. I have annoying friends who get up the noses of my parents, but none are called Jason.
My house is overrun with pets, which annoy us but we love them.
Then again, for all the similarities, there are a dozen or more complete differences between us.
