The Larkins will premiere on ITV on Sunday October 10th at 8pm, it has been announced.

The Larkins is set in the late 1950s and tells the story of a working-class family led by the golden-hearted wheeler dealer Pop Larkin and his wife Ma, together with their six children, including the beautiful Mariette.
