Outnumbered fans have been waiting a long eight years to be reunited with the Brockman family. But they are officially coming back for a one-off Christmas special that will air on Boxing Day on the BBC. The sitcom first aired in 2007 and followed fllustered parents Hugh Dennis as Pete Brockman and Claire Skinner as Sue Brockman juggling family life with running a household.
Now, though, they will be contending with a different type of chaos as their children, Tyger Drew-Honey as Jake Brockman, Daniel Roche as Ben Brockman and Ramona Marquez as Karen Brockman, are young adults. The exact plot is being kept under wraps but we know there is a new young member of the family, the Brockmans have downsized and bought a new house and Pete will have a tough conversation.
And much like their characters, the cast have all been busy over the past few years. Here’s what they’ve been up to since Outnumbered. Since the show finished, the actor has continued TV work and is best known for his roles in Not Going Out, Fleabag and The Great British Dig.
The actor has also gone through a divorce since the show ended. Hugh and his ex-wife – who he shares two children with – Catherine Abbot-Anderson began dating in 1996 and split in 2015. Hugh is now with Claire who played Sue in Outnumbered, turning their on-screen romance into a real-life relationship. The co-stars revealed in 2018 that they began dating in 2017, after their splits from their respective partners.
