My Family
Meet the Harpers: a modern, outwardly functional family…engaged in constant psychological warfare. Ben, a dentist, and Susan, the worst cook in the world, are certainly loving, caring parents; they just have a problem showing it!
2039: A Christmas Oddity
It's Christmas 2039. Ben looks like an octogenarian but Susan, thanks to moisturisers, still looks middle-aged.
Fight before Xmas
It's December 2039, and the Harpers are gathering together to celebrate Christmas. 30 years in the future, the family's appearance may have changed somewhat, but their love/hate relationships are still very much alive.
Wheelie Ben
When the council assume Ben is disabled and send him checks, he tries to return the money, but the clerk won't listen and Rosemary.
The Son'll Come Out
Given that he used to have lots of girl-friends, when Michael comes out as gay, Ben is perplexed but determined to be supportive.
Desperately Stalking Susan
Ben is appalled to discover that Martin, the benign elderly widower from next door, is besotted with Susan and has built a shrine to her in his kitchen.
The Melbourne Identity
Craig, a young Australian, arrives at the house, claiming his mother was at college with Ben and Susan lets him stay in exchange for doing some decorating.
He's Just Not That into Ben
To prove how trendy he is, Ben accompanies an embarrassed Michael to a gay club, where he gets chatted up by the adoring Rupert, who follows him home and sends him flowers.
Slammertime
Whilst Susan away, Ben takes part in a police identity parade, where he is picked out as being a mugger and remanded in a cell with hard cases Carl and Terry.
Ben Behaving Badly
When Janey has to sit with a poorly Kenzo, Ben volunteers to look after one of her elderly care clients, Harry, a man who seems to have been around but is not allowed out else he will go walkabout.
Harper vs Harper
Ben and Susan have yet another row after he refuses to attend her godparents' anniversary party, so they decide on a trial separation, taking it in turns to live in the house alone.
Janey's choice
Ben is overjoyed when Mark, Kenzo's wealthy successful father, reappears and encourages him to propose to Janey. Susan, on the other hand, believes that Craig's feelings for her daughter are sincere and gives him her blessing.
