Trivia about My Family

Nick's bizarre jobs became a major feature of the first four series.

In 1999, Fred Barron was considering producing a British sitcom the same way sitcoms were produced in the U.S.

My Family was consciously designed to have wide appeal, featuring characters with whom viewers could build relationships similar to the earlier BBC sitcom 2point4 Children which was also concentrated around a family unit.

The show chronicles the lives of the Harpers, a fictional middle-class British family who live at 78 Lancaster Road, Chiswick, London.
