Outnumbered

Outnumbered is a British sitcom starring Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner as a father and mother outnumbered by their three children (played by Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez). There were five series, which aired on BBC One during 2007-2014.

Produced by Hat Trick Productions, Outnumbered was written, directed and produced by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, although parts of the show are semi- improvised. The adult actors learn the scripts, while the children are given last-minute instructions by the writers instead.

The programme has received critical acclaim for its semi-improvisational scripting and realistic portrayal of children and family life. Ratings have been average for its time slot, but the series has won a number of awards from the Comedy.co.uk awards, the Royal Television Society, the British Comedy Awards and the Broadcasting Press Guild. The first four series and the two Christmas Specials have been released on DVD. An American adaptation is currently being planned. The series began airing in the US on BBC America on 30 July 2011, as well as airing on PBS stations.

Other regular actors and actresses have reprised roles as supporting characters throughout the five series. Samantha Bond has appeared in all series as Auntie Angela, Sue's sister. David Ryall has appeared as Grandad, Sue and Angela's father in series 1 and 2 as well as the Christmas Specials in 2009 and 2011. Rosalind Ayres has appeared as Gran, Pete's mother in series 3, series 4 and the Christmas Special in 2012. Hattie Morahan has appeared in series 1 and 2, as well as the Christmas Specials as Jane.

In June 2012, Outnumbered was recommissioned for a Christmas special in 2012. A fifth and final series was commissioned and the final episode was aired on 5 March 2014.

Outnumbered (TV program)

Outnumbered (sometimes stylized as Out#) is an American daytime news and talk show that airs on Fox News Channel. The series features four female panelists along with one guest male panelist (hence being "outnumbered", also called the "one lucky guy") discussing the issues of the day. The program premiered on April 28, 2014.

Two of the four panel positions are usually filled by Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and Fox Business Network host Sandra Smith. The third and fourth spots are filled by a rotation of several semi-regular personalities, including actress Stacey Dash, pop culture commentator/Fox Business Network host Kennedy, Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky, radio talk show host Meghan McCain, and actress/Fox Business Network host Melissa Francis. Katie Pavlich, Rachel Campos-Duffy, EMac ( Elizabeth MacDonald), Andrea Tantaros, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jedediah Bila, Dagen McDowell, Trish Regan, and Kirsten Powers have also appeared on the show (Andrea Tantaros was a regular until April 2016).

Outnumbered is aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. ET, sandwiched in between Happening Now (which is now split into two one-hour shows).
