MUM: Right, you 'orrible lot. Your father and I are going away for a romantic weekend.
DAD: Yes, and we don't want any funny business while we're away.
MUM: (coyly) Well... I don't know about that, Derek.
DAD: Doreen! Not in front of the kids!
TEENAGE DAUGHTER: Ugh! Mega gross to the max.

Repeat every weekday night on BBC1 and then UK Gold till the end of time...
Then remake twenty years later and call it "My Family."
Controversial opinion of the day:
I think My Family is far better than TGP.
Well, I do.

I wouldn't personally go that far, although I think My Family isn't actually that bad, particularly in the writing department. I think the acting's either ott (Lindsay) or inept (Donovan). But I've seen a lot worse.
I'm reserving my judgement of TGP until I've got to episode 5 - only on episode 2 at the moment.
Lindsay's habitual Blackadder impression is a touch embarrassing, aside from everything else.
