'Great Sex Is Rare in a Sitcom' - Zoë Wanamaker on the Return of My Family
Naomi West Telegraph, 2010-07-02
'Critics have never quite been able to fathom what makes BBC Ones sitcom My Family so popular. They call the show a 'dinosaur' but that didnt stop almost seven million viewers chortling along happily during its ninth series last year.
