³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Outnumbered, the multi-award-winning comedy series from Hat Trick Productions which captures the turbulent chaos of family life in a way not seen before, at all its most deliciously chaotic, returns to ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One with a new six-part series.

Two parents and their three children are locked in an unequal battle. Using elements of improvisation, Outnumbered sees the world as much from the children's as the adults' point of view.

In the new series, the family negotiates hangovers, chess, sex education, colonoscopies, therapy, re-enactments of World War II and the sun-screening properties of kangaroo saliva.

Written by the creators of Drop The Dead Donkey, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, Outnumbered stars Hugh Dennis (Mock The Week, The Now Show, My Hero), Claire Skinner (Trinity, Sense And Sensibility, Life Begins), Samantha Bond (Die Another Day, Fanny Hill), David Ryall (Harry Potter – The Deathly Hallows, The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse), Tyger Drew-Honey (The Armstrong & Miller Show), Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez.

Outnumbered is written, directed and produced by Andy Hamilton (It's Only A Theory, Trevor's World Of Sport, Bedtime) and Guy Jenkin (Bike Squad, Crossing The Floor). The executive producers are Jimmy Mulville for Hat Trick and Simon Wilson for the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.
