    Dad

    Dad is a BBC1 sitcom that ran for 13 episodes over two series and a Christmas special. Described by the BBC as a ‘generation-gap comedy’, it starred George Cole as Brian Hook, Kevin McNally as his son Alan Hook, and Toby Ross-Bryant as his son Vincent Hook and Julia Hills as his wife Beryl Hook. Written by Andrew Marshall, the title of each episode was a pun on the word ‘Dad’.

    Most of the episodes involved Alan Hook getting frustrated by situations brought upon him by his father and son. For example, in ‘Dadmestic’, Vincent’s mother allows him to host a house party, leaving Alan with no alternative but to spend the evening at his father’s house. In the episode ‘Habadadery’, Brian comes down with a bout of illness, meaning that Alan has to look after him. Brian then takes Alan to ‘Mr Nigel’s shop’, where Alan’s middle-aged style crisis goes from bad to worse as he purchases an extremely bold Hawaiian shirt.

    The theme tune for the first series was the 1965 hit ‘Tijuana Taxi’ performed by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. For the second series this was replaced with the song ‘Go Daddy-O’ by Californian swing revival band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

    2point4 children

    2point4 children is a 1990s British sitcom that was created and written by Andrew Marshall. It follows the lives of the Porter family; an average family that is persistently faced with surreal situations and sheer bad luck.

    The show was originally broadcast on BBC One from 1991 to 1999, and ran for eight series, ending in a special Millennium edition that would be the last due to the death of Gary Olsen, who died from cancer in 2000. The show is now repeated regularly in the UK on Gold, and in Australia on UKTV.

    The title of the show refers to the once average size of a UK family. There are two children in the Porter family, however Andrew Marshall has indicated that the father, Ben, could be considered almost another child, making up the “point four”.

    The show regularly picked up large audiences of up to 14 million in the early 1990s, with an average of between 6 – 9 million, the final episode was viewed by 9.03 million people.

    In 1997 a remake of the show debuted in the Netherlands: ‘Kees & Co’ starring Simone Kleinsma.
