I've recently watched all the episodes of Outnumbered and loved them. It occurred to me that if broadcast today it might be considered politically incorrect. If there was a new version I expect the parents would be mixed race and same sex. Jake would have decided he was actually a girl; Ben would be having therapy and be on medication for his ADHD and Karen would have a physical disability . I'm not sure

The sad thing is, you’re prob right!
It’s a great series and I enjoyed seeing the kids grow up progressively.Looking forward to the festive special.😃

Not sure about Auntie Angela - she's already pretty off the wall!
