Best episode of the series so far

Yeah nice little in-joke

I think it showed the series can develop as the children get older.

Definately. The humour is changing from sweet little kids saying funny things to a more traditional family sitcom.

Pete about Victoria. "Do you have any photos?"

In this series, every episode has been better than the previous one. I especially liked the universal hatred they all had for Angela, and the inability of the children to hide it.

Great episode. Some zinging lines.

Actually though, while the kids can provide some laughs - its the parents that make this work. Their interplay while discussing Jake's girlfriend was so real, but absolutely hilarious.

and Karen obviously sneezed in the middle of recording and they kept it in. best episode so far this series.

Ben: "Uh-oh"
Jake : "Uh-oh"
Karen: "Jesus"


Loved that bit.

Fantastic episode. Loved the whole thing with Jake's nickname!

Some writers would have just gone for the punchline on that a couple of weeks ago but they have built up to it quite subtly. Interesting also that there seem to have been no leaks to the press but they don't seem to pay much attention to the series.

Perhaps she will turn out to be a one-legged black lesbian pole-dancer.

No, it's certainly one of those shows beloved by the critics and award ceremonies but completely ignored by the masses and the popular press.

As long as they keep making it I don't really care being in the minority

"Karen, if both socks have got a hole in them then they match. Just put them on."

"You're not leaving any gaps."

Andy Hamilton must be spying on me.

Thanks! i thought so..because i have watched series 1 and 2 but missed loads of eps in this series 3. so was trying to think back as to when i missed the ep in s2 but glad you showed me that it was in series 3...im not going crazy!

I loved that, if there's something that you cannot act, it's a physical sneeze, you can have a good go but it'd never be convincing.

I love Ramona and she's a wonderful little improviser but it's the little human touches that make her even more believable.

Love the new series, I had my doubts and aired them, but it seems to get better and better. Reality over script, a child's view on the world over an adult writer. "Out of the mouths of babes", comes to mind.

Best episode of the series by a long shot, definitely seems to be a new injection of life which will hopefully mean one more series (though I certainly don't think they should do any more than that).

Although I agree with much of what was said, I think people were a bit harsh on the programme early on in the series, it was always going to take time to adjust to the children no longer being able to get away with being so 'random' as they grow up, however I rather like the way that we've seen the organic growth on-screen, most sitcoms aren't brave enough to experiment and are too afraid of losing viewers, but Outnumbered has always felt naturalistic in that respect as life is never as smooth as it usually seems on television.

There was less of the Ben-ranting which had started to grate, and when he did it was a side issue to the rest of the episode - perhaps earlier in the series it would have come down to his 'hilarious' talent contest performance - but now they seem to have realised that whilst they need to keep his personality, they can't afford to let him run-free with his ideas as he's at an age where that's starting to seem less realistic.

Angela definitely adds an edge to the tension, the series has definitely missed that conflict which runs through just about every family at was evident earlier in the show.

What I really like are the little touches that sometimes you don't notice until the second-time around, like the aforementioned sneeze and also a dozy Karen asking 'Why does families fight so much?' Children often make mistakes with speech/grammar but sometimes they come across as being 'perfect' on similar programmes - the best thing about Outnumbered is it's a relief to see an accurate portrayal of all of our strengths AND weaknesses instead of it being simply a family of fairy tales.

Pete and Sue were on fire last night - fantastic script.

Really good episode. Karen is back on form. She always made the programme for me. Also, Aunty Angela really livens things up.

Favourite episode so far.
Karen has always been my favourite character & she was brilliant in last nights.

Last night's episode was brilliant
Claire Skinner has been on top form this series, she is perfect!
I loved Karen playing Hole in the Wall

Like others on here i thought last nights episode was really good.Some scenes that made me lol were

Karens version of Bring On The Wall
Karen telling the guy at the door that if he is selling anything he should go to the woman across the road before her helper shows up as she will buy anything.
Karens response when she sees Angela in the kitchen
Pete saying "I googled sex under 16,which was a mistake"

Agree was definitely the best episode of the series so far. I think i was right in saying the show is becoming more oriented towards the adults. Karen's one liners are still the best part of the show especially "Jesus" and the woman who'll buy anything

Ah last nights episode was great.

So good, Karen nearly stole it ! 'Shoe', Oh, Jesus' LOL

Watched it in real time last night then again with OH today. Was a bit surprised when he said he wanted to watch again but it was still funny. 'And I think to myself, what a wonderful world'

Even funnier the second time.
I liked the way the Angela and Victoria conversation overlapped. There were so many memorable lines, it'd hard to single one out. Maybe the "destructionator", "casualty".
