Coming soon
THE FAMILY – Channel 4 this autumn
Its make-up may have changed over the years, but most of us still return home to a family at the end of each day. It’s our refuge from the outside world, where we can most be ourselves. Perhaps more than any other it's the institution that tells us about how we live today.

New documentary series
Now a British family opens its doors to Channel 4 viewers in a major new observational documentary series. Family dynamics are played out in front of the cameras to reveal an intimate portrait of family life in modern Britain.

The highs and the lows
Filmed around the clock over a four month period, The Family offers a fascinating insight into the highs and lows of family life, documenting the everyday dilemmas and decisions that will be recognisable to most families up and down the country. From teenagers testing the boundaries, to simply maintaining a happy married life, cameras follow the family as they cope with everything that life throws at them.

The website
More information on the series will be available on the website, including video clips, weekly feature articles on family life, a chance for you to express your opinion on the series and more.

It was quite fascinating to watch actually, but it was slightly depressing!

The 19 year old daughter is so selfish, its unbelievable and the mother looked like she was going to lose the will to live - some parts were so contrived like when the mother got the family photo album out and was looking at pictures with tears in her eyes, when the daughter stormed out! :rolleyes:

I will probably watch again next week ... still haven't made my mind up about this.

not sure how much of this is "real" but it was entertaining to watch, seemed a lot more honest than other reality shows like Big Brother etc

Hope the series doesn't concentrate mainly on Emily and her tantrums!:angry:

ah man, gutted this was the last episode! I'm actually gonna miss watching this show every week, it was interesting and we were finally getting used to each of the family members, i could watch them forever haha! The wedding was so sweet, such a nice way to finish off the series.

Glad they're doing another one next year!!! They'll have a tough act to follow the Hughes!!!
