The sitcom Outnumbered will make a return on the BBC for a Christmas special episode. The Corporation confirmed that the episode will include all the cast members from the series, including former child artists who are all grown up now. The episode of the show will be set against the backdrop of Pete and Sue Brockman’s downsized house, where they raised their kids in the series.
The makers of the show, Guy Jenkins and Andy Hamilton, will return to direct and write the Christmas special.
What will the episode of Outnumbered be about?
According to the BBC, the special episode will revolve around Pete and Sue, who plan to gather the family for the Christmas dinner, including their children and one grandchild. But will it be that easy to get the family together? The buses, hyenas, and neighbors will create obstacles for the family to have a peaceful dinner.
According to Hamilton, the episode will have the Brockman family become "older, but not necessarily wiser.” Meanwhile, Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner also gave out their statements on making a comeback as the iconic couple on TV.
Dennis said, "Pete and Sue have downsized. The children are no longer children, but I’m sure family life will prove to be just as chaotic as ever."
Skinner revealed, "I’m really looking forward to being reunited with my TV family. Working on this wonderful BBC comedy doesn’t feel like work and is one of the greatest joys for us all." Besides playing the married couple onscreen, Hugh and Claire made their offscreen relationship official.
The Christmas special episode was earlier supposed to be released in 2016, but it was too early for the makers to host a reunion.
