Mum (Claire Skinner) and Dad (Hugh Dennis) are Outnumbered by their children, Karen (Ramona Marquez), Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) and Ben (Daniel Roche)

When Mum finds an inappropriate image on the family computer, an investigation begins, as the comedy series that captures family life at its most deliciously chaotic continues its third series.

Gran is still staying and Dad is horrified at the thought of having a heart-to-heart with her. Karen is convinced that she has won half a million pounds and starts to spend it. Meanwhile, the ancient game of chess will never be quite the same again after Ben brings his own special talents to it.

Outnumbered is a very recognisable evocation of the daily rollercoaster of family life and a celebration of parental incompetence, as a beleaguered mum and dad attempt to raise their kids with the minimum of emotional damage for all concerned.

Claire Skinner plays Mum, Rosalind Ayres plays Gran, Hugh Dennis plays Dad, Ramona Marquez plays Karen, Tyger Drew-Honey plays Jake and Daniel Roche plays Ben.
