Summary of Outnumbered
Outnumbered is about the Brockman family of South London, whose two parents are "outnumbered" by their three somewhat unruly children. The father, Pete (Dennis), is a history teacher at an inner city school and the mother, Sue (Skinner), is a part-time PA.[7] The three children are thirteen-year-old Jake (Drew-Honey), whose teenage sarcasm and obsession with girls worries his mother,[8] nine-year-old Ben (Roche) who enjoys fighting and coming up with hypothetical questions like "who would win in a fight between...",[9] and seven-year-old Karen (Marquez) who asks too many questions.[7][10] Other regular characters include Sue's new age 44-year-old sister, Angela Morisson (Samantha Bond), and their father Frank (David Ryall), referred to as "Grandad", who is in the early stages of dementia. The writers also use the popular sitcom device of the unseen character in the form of Veronica, Sue's demanding boss in series one. In series two, the device is used again, but in the form of Sue's new boss Tyson, who is revealed to be a conman who absconds in the final episode of the series. Series three introduces Rosalind Ayres as Pete's mother, referred to as "Gran", who is addicted to online gambling and has a growing hatred for Pete's father. Other new characters in series 3 include Kelly (Anna Skellern), whom Jake has a major crush on, Angela's new boyfriend Brick (Douglas Hodge), who is an American therapist, and his daughter Taylor Jean, who wants to live with her mother.
