Season Five of My Family is the last of the 13 episode series although it does actually contains 16 full episodes and is the last series to feature Kris Marshall as Nick Harper.
Michael Harper tends to take on a lot of Nick's traits and Abi takes on Nick's character formula about job seeking. A new character is introduced in the final episode of the season, also the Christmas special. This new character is a Welsh friend of Nick's who tends to have similar quirky and simple qualities as Nick and is called Alfie Butts (Rhodri Meilir)
We also meet Tayler Marshall for the first time in the last episode of the series "And I'll Cry If I Want To" as a friend of Kenzo's.
Tayler returns later in the series to actually play Kenzo Harper.
Season Five also included the first and only short film of My Family titled "The Erroneous Storm"
This short does not appear on any DVD versions of My Family and is not freely available on the Internet either.
