About OUTNUMBERED & Episode Guides


Outnumbered is a British family comedy that premiered in August 2007.



About Outnumbered:
Outnumbered is the multi-award-winning comedy series which captures the turbulent chaos of family life in a way not seen before, at all its most deliciously chaotic.

Outnumbered is a semi-improvised sitcom based around a couple and their three young children.

Pete and Sue, the parents, are locked in an unequal battle, 'outnumbered' by their three children - aged five, seven and eleven. The comedy follows the daily chaos of their life as they are locked in an un-equal contest with their three kids.

The kids are a regal five-year-old girl with a talent for interrogation, a seven-year-old boy who could out-fib Jeffrey Archer and an intelligent 11-year-old who has just started secondary school.

The series observes the well-meaning parental incompetence that happens in most homes, as a beleaguered mum and dad attempt to raise their kids with the minimum of emotional damage for all concerned and sees the world as much from the children's as the adults' point of view.
