    Think of it as Geordie Shore with inbreeding, swearing and posh accents.😃

    And a genuinely gorgeous female - in the shape of Matilda - which all of the other reality shows conspicuously lack.

    No artificial enhancement or make up trowelled on 15 inches thick. She's just herself - imperfect I grant you, but all the more appealing for being 'real'.

    I'm enjoying it a lot. Surprised there are so few comments about it here.

    How do people feel about what the sons have turned out to look like as "adults"?

    The toffee-nosed offspring are as feckless, aimless, thick and borderline psychotic as any sink estate ratkids you'd see in Geordie Shore, Benefit Street or any other downmarket exploitative C4 crap.

    Which is rather gratifying, upper class breeding is no guarantee of superior genes.

    Totally agree with you Centaurion.

    Really enjoyed this series and the fact that he just spoke his mind and there are some hilarious quotes. Was sad to get to the end. Don't know what happened to his wife. Maybe she just didn't want to be in it.

    They said that she didn't want to take part this time. It was also said that she was too busy writing her book, although it was the same book that she was writing when the series was on ten years ago. :confused:

    In spite of their obvoius 'upper-class' upbringing, the children appeared to really enjoy each other. as they did their dad. :) That has to be a good thing. Personally, they appeared to be a very loving, tight family - nothing & nobody would part them. I found them to be a united family, even if they were totally out of touch with the so-called 'normal' folks, but that was undoubtedly a great part of their collective charm.

    In short, I thought the family were funny, crude, loving & honest to the point of their detriment, probably. The shots of the boys not acting their age was somewhat beguiling in an age when kids seem to grow up far too quickly.

    If you hadn't already guessed, they have a wee place in my heart:D
