Fan-favourite TV sitcom Outnumbered is returning to BBC after almost a decade off-screen with the five original stars to return.
The returnees include Hugh Dennis as dad Pete, Claire Skinner as mum Sue, Tyger Drew-Honey as eldest son Jake, Daniel Roche as the middle child Ben, and Ramona Marquez as daughter, Karen.

Working on this wonderful BBC comedy doesn’t feel like work and is one of the greatest joys for us all.” Daniel was also thrilled to be getting the band back together and posted an image with himself Tyger and Ramona with the caption: "We all know Christmas is the time for family, so after several years away, the Brockman family will be returning to your screens Christmas 2024.
