Anyone remember this series? It was brilliant And was about a family that wins the lottery and the troubles it brings them.

Not sure how true it is but I've heard that it may return soon either as a series or a one off.

where did you hear that?

[Deleted User] · 07/04/12 - 05:23

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hope it does return! Even if it's only a one off, it'd be fantastic to see what the family is up to now!!

I loved the show. Bought the boxset a while back and have watched it plenty. It was a great TV show, and I had a major girlcrush on Virginia Braithwaite (something which my OH doesn't let me forget lol!)

Peter Davison always seems to end up in somewhat odd shows - remember A Very Peculiar Practice

I remember watching some of the later episodes and liked it. Didn't someone die when a tv fell in the bath? Or was that another programme?

I thought The Syndicate was going to be a bit like this but it's a lot darker.

True Entertainment on sky 188 shows it occasionally but usually in the mornings these days.

Julie Graham was brilliant in this Megan such an amazing character shame she dies in the bathtub i wish she got her million and if the rumor is true she could`ve returned!!!
Elaine was another good one, loved her in series 4.
I own all four series on dvd.

Dare Devil · 10/04/12 - 23:12

At Home With the Braithwaites was brilliant!

Great humour and sarcasm throughout. It was hilarious!

I even remember how it ended with the youngest saying "I think I'm pregnant"

I miss this show.

[Deleted User] · 11/04/12 - 14:51

Can anyone tell me what happened in the last few eps of the last series?

I really need to get this on DVD.

Hotgossip · 11/04/12 - 15:20

I loved that prog. Wasn't one of the daughters having an affair with her much older and married neighbour?

I'd be very surprised, but I'd welcome it, as long as Sally Wainwright was the writer. She must be one of the best writers- if not the best writer- for television now,

There were quite a few sordid affairs going on, but I think the one you're referring to is Virginia Braithwaite and her neighbour Meghan -- although Meghan didn't really like Virginia in that way, she was just after the money.

Loved watching this. Totally forgot about it so will have to take a look on Youtube.

If you find them please let me know, as I've tried to find them and failed.

Really want to see the last couple of eps. Nothing on the internet is telling me what happened.

Couldn't find them on Youtube but found the first series on another TV website. Can PM you the link if you want as not sure I'm allowed to post it here?

Looks like all the videos have been removed from YouTube, think the uploader s channel has been suspended.

In the last couple of episodes after her divorce came through Alison complicated having a relationship with her gardener Nick.

She settled with 19 million going to David and Charlotte set up a fake hostage scam to get her parents to see that life was better before the money.

I wasn't really a huge fan of the ending and I'd rather have seen David and Alison get back together but havin watched all 4 series in one go recently, I do think by the 4th series the same things were happening to the characters and it was getting a bit barmy, so I can see why they wrapped it up then.

I love the first 2 series and found series 3, where they lost the money, not very enjoyable and series 4 was alright but the first 2 were the best for me, really good characters and stories.

Hey there!
