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!

…And I’ll Cry if I Want to (Xmas Special) – Part 2
Ben hates Christmas at the best of times but this year mother-in-law Grace is staying, Nick's hippy friend Alfie turns up from Wales and Susan insists on booking an expensive clown, Shingles, for Kenzo's birthday on Christmas Eve.
Living the Dream
Ben, yearning for a boat, and facing mounting costs for two schools, looks for an easy fix when Roger tells him of a new company -- an all he has to do to get rich is push home products door to door.
An Embarrassment of Susans
Ben decides to buy the property next door and turn it over for a profit, but circumstance... and Ben... get in the way. Elsewhere, Susan believes she's found the perfect mate for Michael, but there's an eerie familiarity to the girl.
Bills for Idiots
Ben's rejection by a club causes him to join a secret society, Susan's favorite author visits, Michael pilfers to impress a girl, and Abi taxes Roger's limited Welsh.
And Other Animals
Michael's gone for the weekend and Janey's moving back to her flat, so Susan fills the hole in her heart by adopting yet another stray. Elsewhere, Abi begins to question whether Roger is really interested in her.. or any females.
The Spokes Person
When an old acquaintance turns up boasting of her perfect life, Susan is on a mission to prove her own life is better. Meanwhile, Ben angers cyclists with his rant on a radio programme, and Abi is influenced by the wrong chef.
The Art of Being Susan
Ben's away for the week, and Susan's mother comes to help... or torment; love hits several of the family in different forms as Michael processes a break-up, Roger screws up his courage to ask a question, and Susan and Grace manage to find admirers.
Dentally Unstable
While Ben is away at a dental conference, his locum charms the women -- even when they find out he's taken. Michael, meanwhile, has sold the family address for a tidy profit.
