The Starlings are a typical working class family from Matlock in Derbyshire. On the surface they might look like a bunch of lunatics but they're united by one thing; they love each other. They're as close as any family can be, sometimes too close, as living under one roof are Terry and Jan Starling, Terry's grandfather Billy, three children; Gravy, Bell and Charlie, a grandchild - Bell's first called Zac, Uncle Loz and Fergie who lives in the back garden.
