´óÏó´«Ã½

Caroline Quentin and Neil Dudgeon reprise their roles as multi-tasking mother Maddy and stoical father Jim Riley when Life Of Riley returns to ´óÏó´«Ã½ One for a third, eight-part series in 2011.

Some time has passed since we last visited the chaotic and colourful Riley household. Baby Rosie is now two and about to begin playgroup, and the teen triumvirate of Katy, Danny and Ted are embarking on their own new relationships.

Refusing to be fazed by her increasingly complicated brood of children, step-children, step-siblings and half-siblings, Maddy is still trying to be all things to all people.

Now she finds herself coping with a work-at-home husband, the re-emergence of both their exes, neighbours at war (with each other)... and the challenge of meeting a new boyfriend – her mother's!

Life Of Riley also features Lucinda Dryzek as Katy, Taylor Fawcett as Danny and Patrick Nolan as Ted.

Life Of Riley is written by Georgia Pritchett (Smack The Pony, Feel The Force, Miranda), directed and produced by Richard Boden (The IT Crowd, Blackadder Goes Forth).

Executive Producers are Catherine Bailey for CBL and Jon Rolph for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland. A Catherine Bailey Limited production for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland.
