The eighth series of My Family continues the hapless Harper family adventures and is the final season of the character Abi Bailey nee Harper.
So where would a character called Abi end up then? I bet nun of you will guess ;-)
Theres more scams and misadventures and Michael continues his rebellious bleached blond phase.
Susan becomes Manager of the Art Gallery and Ben still remains in his Dental surgery.
With 9 episodes including the Christmas special, the gags are still good even if he story lines are getting stranger by the minute.
But theres still plenty of laughs with fake pregnancy scams, Bank hold-ups, Impending death for Ben, arts and crafts, neighbour fights, dating tricks and runaway brides.
Mr Casey returns as a nemesis for Ben and there's plenty of tussles between them and the season ends with another awful Christmas for them in the appropriately titled An Unhappy Christmas.
For a full list of episodes see below:

Ben takes delivery of a neighbour's large, plasma-screen television and falls in love with it, but it seems that Michael's current love interest may be expecting a delivery too.
Episode #85 Let's Not Be Heisty
Ben's attempt to pay money into his bank unhappily coincides with someone else's decision to take some out... with the aid of sawn-off shotguns. When he decides to act as The Negotiator things look bleak for the hostages.
Episode #86 Cards On The Table
Ben's poker school is costing him a fortune, while Susan's visit to the fortune-teller reveals that something far more deadly is on the cards.

Episode #88 Neighbour Wars

Episode #90 The Abi Habit
According to Susan, abstinence makes the heart grow fonder; while Janey looks like having it thrust upon her, for Abi, it looks like being a longer term commitment.
Episode #91 Have An Unhappy Christmas
For Christmas Ben gets Susan a present from the store where Alfie works as one of Santa's elves - a vacuum cleaner. Having been told this is unromantic he buys a necklace and is annoyed to find he could have got it for half price in the sale if he had waited a day. The family decide to get a picture of Ben and Susan on their wedding day put on mugs and other household items as a romantic souvenir,but,due to a mix-up at the factory,a rather saucier one of them on their honeymoon night is displayed instead.
