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!
Bully for Ben
Though uninvited, Ben tags along with his kids and Alfie to take part in the local pub quiz, where Alfie notices that a member of another team seems to be cheating.
Bringing Up Janey
Michael applies to join MI5 and Janey starts dating an older man, James, who nonetheless is rich and successful and the kind of son-in-law that Ben would be quite happy to welcome to the fold.
A Very Brief Encounter
Whilst Janey lands herself in hot water by fabricating a Swedish girl-friend for a depressed Roger, Susan is visited by an old friend Margot.
The Psyche of Mickey
When Michael admits to going to see a therapist but will not tell his parents why, they are intrigued as to the reason.
A Difficult Undertaking
Ben's uncle Norris dies, leaving ten thousand pounds - to Susan, for her support following the loss of his Mildred. Ben, also expecting a large legacy, buys an expensive suit, but it turns out that Norris has only left him a box of old clothes.
Dog Dazed
Susan wants a dog but the assessor from the dogs' home deems her unsuitable, so Ben goes to the kennels to sneak one out for her, only to find she is already there and about to call in the press as a protest against the assessors' decision.
It's Training Men
New patient Jessica proves to be an undercover spy for the Cavitex dental company, and she feels Ben's behavior warrants his going on a retraining course, along with Roger.
The Guru
Susan, stranded at an Albanian airport, is charmed when a handsome American calling himself the Doctor rescues her and invites her to travel the world with him.
Kenzo's Project
In a clip show to celebrate the show's hundredth edition, Susan and Ben try to help Kenzo with a school project about his family by recalling some of their past exploits.
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.
It's a Gift (Christmas Special)
For Christmas, Ben gets Susan a present from the store where Alfie works as one of Santa's elves - a vacuum cleaner.
Harpers and Queen (New Year's Special)
Ben parades in a Hawaiian shirt ready for his Mauritius trip… Susan teases that she hasn't decided whether to take him or not.
