Outnumbered is a show that originally aired in the UK on BBC One in 2007, and was later broadcasted on BBC America and some PBS stations in the US in July 2011. It is also available to watch on HULU. It ran for a total of 5, 6 episode long, series and 3 Christmas Specials. The show was produced by Hat Trick Productions and the Executive Producers are Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, who also wrote the scripts. Outnumbered stars Hugh Dennis and Claire skinner as the "outnumbered" parents of three children, each unruly in their own way. The eldest Brockman child, Jake, is the straight man of the show, the middle child Ben is a pathological liar, and youngest sibling Karen is known for her own brand of precociousness that involves criticizing nearly everything she comes across. The series is a comedy which garnered fame because of it's unusual script style- in that it is "semi-scripted," that adult actors are given a script and general outline of how a scene should go and where the directors/writers want it to end up, but the child actors are given no script and have to go only off of last minute instructions from the writers. The improvisation of the kid's allows from a genuine feel to the dialogue and makes for a unique viewing experience that feels as if you're actually watching the on-goings inside a real family home in South London.
