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

I really felt we were the family in Butterflies that lovely series with Jeffery Palmer . I could sympathise with Ria over her cooking and her feeling the boys were on a different planet from the parents.

The Ma Larking in me definitely comes out at Xmas and family parties but we are The Addams Family (sorry movie not TV although we may be heading towards the family in Flowers). I was always Morticia deadly sexy and mysterious but DD1 has taken this over and her DH is definitely Gomez sleezing around her. I am now Mad Nanna in the basement cooking up strange potions with kale etc. DH is Lurch, lugubrious and brooding. My Sister is Debbie the murderous SIL always threatening to kill her DH who is half Hungarian and promises to 'run with creatures of the night'. Shall I go on probably not!

When my sisters son was born and I babysat him I returned him to her with a moustache (eye pencil) and a parting ala Pubert the latest Addams baby.

A cross between Mrs browns boys and the royal family. I kid you not. It's the Irish and Liverpudlian mix that's done it.

My daughter always calls us Howard and Hilda after that couple in Ever Decreasing Circles ! !

If we get together with my family at Christmas we are definately the Royle family with everyone lined up on the sofa mindlessly staring at the TV and making daft comments. Otherwise, I think OH and I are more like the couple in One Foot in the Grave - one eye on the TV, the other on a crossword or newspaper and lots of sarcastic comments...lol!

Perhaps the Simpsons, though....!

Oor Bodach (like it, Daddima - shades of Lillian Beckwith's books!) resembles Jim Royle in lots of ways... !
I don't think there IS a TV family that is like ours, actually ...

The Darling Buds of May is a program i can watch over and over again.

Ma Larkin is so like my mum was in her younger days, always in the kitchen feeding everyone, plump, dark haired, beautiful to look at and in her ways, it is very emotive when i watch .
