TV TALK #7 - MY FAMILY SEASON 7


Series Seven of My Family brings 10 more episodes of the Harper family.

The long running plot lines created in the beginning of the shows inception begin to reach their conclusions in this season and you can begin to see how the writing is going to be limited once this season concludes.

Instead of new characters being created we start to see the return of previous guestys and most of them are in the same roles as their previous appearances with one or two exceptions.

Grace Riggs returns, Susan's mum, and she has a new husband called Brad and Susan's art dealer friend James returns for one episode.

But the best episode of the Series by far is Episode #78 Susan Of Troy, when the whole family appear on the UK's The Weakest Link with Anne Robinson.

The series begins with Kenzo's father finally being identified when he appears in the first episode of the series. There's a lot of weddings in this season apart from the unseen marriage of Grace and Brad, Susan and Ben renew their vows and Abi and Roger finally tie the knot. As the season draws to a close Susan begins her menopausal phase.

The final episode of the series is the usual Christmas special where nothing goes right for the Harper's.

Here's the list of episodes...
