The Family

[woofmarkthedog]

Has anybody been watching this, we do enjoy it here at "W**F Manor" It turns a few pre conceptions* on their heads . Yes ,I do know a couple of Indian families quite well, but I haven't been privy to this much day to day detail.

I do like the joy & love they share but mostly their adaptable nature & humour for life.

These are real people ( In the eye of the camera ) going about the details in life so well

Compelling ?

Yes very & I like it

* Oh please

I have to agree with you Woof. Didn't really enjoy the last series of it much, but this time round it's really entertaining. An interesting family, and an eye opener for me too. Can't help but love the relationship the old couple have, absolutely hilarious.

Do you think the young girl (Shay?) will make up with her Mum by the end of the series?

When is it on?

[woofmarkthedog]

No I don't think she will;, but the way to trying will enlighten her I'm sure. Remember her dad was an alcoholic, so much denial has been a way of life for her family. Also "Shea" is called Sharon & her brother is Dave, not traditional Indian. She is also trying to get her mum to a classic Indian wedding, sooooo

I don't hold out much hope

But I love the programme , I do

Mum and Dad are hilarious, Tindy is a bit of a spoilt brat getting his mum to turn up his music cos he did not want to get out of bed.

House husband son in law - unusual as most Asian males I know would rather be the bread winner.

This is becoming a firm favourite in our household .

Good to see a show which allows the viewer to make up their own minds about what they are watching without an overbearing commentary.

Would say more but got to go and make himself ....... " cup of tea"
