The Robinsons aren't related to any of the famous Robinsons: Edward G, Smokey or even Anne. No, they are a run of-the-mill family from Wimbledon, South London who have "done quite well". All of them, that is, except the youngest, Ed, (the Black Sheep of the Family) 32, recently divorced after a disastrous marriage that lasted five-and-a-half months, doing a job that he hates and living in his aunt's flat in Bermondsey. What's gone wrong in his life? Really, how difficult is it to find a girlfriend, a decent job, a good dry-cleaners and the meaning of Life?

A British sitcom that is dry, wry, chock-full of great character actors and further enlivened by the odd absurdist touch
