Dead Donkey creators new show

Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, the creators of the hit C4 show Drop the Dead Donkey have collaborated for the first time in eight years for BBC1′s “Outnumbered”. Hugh Dennis, Claire Skinner and Samantha Bond star in the new comedy series that starts on Tuesday 28 August at 10.35pm.

“Outnumbered” follows the daily chaos of the family life of two parents with three young children. The six half-hour episodes, apparently containing elements of improvisation, are billed as being “an honest portrayal of the well-meaning parental incompetence that happens in most homes, as a beleaguered mum and dad attempt to raise their kids with the minimum of emotional damage for all concerned”.
