Summary
Hailed as an "era-defining" sitcom, Outnumbered has reinvented the sitcom, brilliantly capturing the comic chaos of family life through tight plotting and inspired improvisation. The show's writers/producers/directors Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin chat to Andrew Collins about their thirty years at the heart of British comedy, from their early careers writing on shows such as Shelley, Not the Nine O'Clock News and Who Dares Wins, via numerous solo projects, to their acclaimed co-creations Drop the Dead Donkey and Outnumbered.
