Which telly family is most like yours, or which one would you like it to be?

I was just watching the Darling Buds of May there, and could see myself as Ma Larkin! I like how there's always plenty of food and drink to be had.
I remember how we laughed at the Royle Family when Jim was going through the phone bill, scrutinising every call, as that was one of the Bodach's favourite pastimes when we had a house full of teenagers.

So, which one are you, the Waltons? The Simpsons? The Durrells?

We are definitely "my family"

Maybe we're a bit like the old couple on Gogglebox..the ones where he's always trying to eat the biscuits he's not meant to have.
I don't do the dirty looks as well and she does though.
(Thank god!)

We have a DGS who is quite definitely Ben from Outnumbered, which is a bit worrying... hmm

We're a wee bit like the family on Thicker than Water , the Swedish drama that's on More4 just now.

We're the family from "The Middle", a bit chaotic and usually broke, frequently arguing but loving each other...and a bit odd.

My dear OH is definitely the Earl of Grantham and my daughter is Lady Mary. He pays for everything and is ostensibly the boss but never gets his own way with the children. She rules the roost. I think my son and I are probably the cook and the under footman, however.

I'm glad I'm not the only one living with a grump! I don't think OH has ever told a joke or had a real good belly laugh in over 54 years of marriage. We are a bit like The Garnetts, but he doesn't talk as much as Alf and doesn't have an opinion on any subject....boring!!

I think we are a bit like 'my family'. I hope I'm like Zoe Wannamaker!

We are definitely a younger version of Leon and June on Gogglebox. My OH looks just like Leon. We have the same sense of humour as them, make the same sort of comments as they do.
