MY FAMILY
My Family is a hilarious BBC comedy. It is about a typical family made up of a dad (Ben), a mum (Susan), two sons (Nick and Michael) and a daughter (Janey). It is definitely my favourite programme.
My favourite character is Nick, played by the brilliant Kris Marshall. He is hilarious. He simply enters a room, does his ‘stupid’ grin and makes you laugh.
Below are pictures of all the cast and information about the actors. Also, at the bottom of the page is wallpaper from the official My Family web-site.
