Bringing his new wife to meet the family in Tyneside, the loud but loving Pearsons roll out a typically down-to-earth Northern welcome, with a good dose of charm, fuss and humour. But will the new couple adjust to the madness of Pearson family life, or will it send them up the wall?

Such a pity the BBC were so short sighted not to commission a third series of this wonderful warm hearted comedy.

Briliant And hilarious but no subtitles is shocking for any modern show.

Amazing. One of my all-time favourites. It's a travesty that the BBC won't commission more.
