Plot
Outnumbered is about the Brockman family of South London, whose two parents are "Outnumbered" by their three somewhat unruly children. The father, Pete, (Hugh Dennis) works at an inner city school as a history teacher, and the mother, Sue, (Claire Skinner) is a part-time PA.[7] The three children are eleven-year-old (first series) Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) who worries about everything, from starting at his new school to the world being sucked into a black hole,[8] seven-year-old Ben (Daniel Roche) who frequently tells lies and asks to watch Little Britain,[9] and five-year-old Karen (Ramona Marquez) who asks too many questions.[7][10] Other characters who regularly appear include Sue's new age 44-year-old sister, Angela Morisson, (Samantha Bond) and their father Frank, referred to as "Grandad", (David Ryall) who appears to be suffering from senility.[11] Outnumbered also uses the popular sitcom device of the unseen character in the form of Veronica, Sue's demanding boss in Series 1.
