Has nobody noticed the severe lack of branded products here – no heinz ketchup, no branston pickle, no persil liquid, no Adidas trainers – everything is generic BECAUSE ITS A SET. This is not real life it’s bad TV. And, if it were real life and I lived in that house I’d have to kill the dad and then kill myself!
yah you right about the products, def no adverts there but i think the dads cool, i like him its the mum that bugs me, i mean Emily borrowed 2 things max and she gos on like it the end of the world and happening every day with all her cloths,l geez get a grip.
But i have a questiion, the son, yeah, Im making no statment on this but just wondering how every one else is seeing it.So, my Question is this, – Who thinks hes being suportive to his mum (fair play if thats it!) or is he A** Licking and just trying to score brownie points because hes on TV, Cuz I noticed he is very camera aware, I know hes not playing up to it in a general sort of way but is he taking advantage of more emotional moments cuz its on TV ???
If ou think im just way off the mark all round just say so, lol

I think The Family is a brilliant reality show I am so enjoying it.And what a lovely family they are.You can tell that no matter what problems they have they all love each other very much.
i think this show is a pile of cr@p as all it is, a very well set up family and i will have to agree with clare on the dad thing and then i would maybe kill the mum as a well but i think the whole show is pathetic
also i think the son is an idiot playing up for the camras walking arround like as if he owns the place and to be fair he is just @ss liking after his browny points whilst all he has is a brown tounge
I actually like the programme and i quite like their bravery in allowing themselves to be filmed and shown on tv dat takes courage. I like the mum and dad. I just watched Jessica’s wedding and it was quite nice nothing elaborate but really lovely all the same. The family is alright they fight and make up which is quite normal in most families.
If this is what the parenting skills are like in Britan, I will never ever raise children there. I am disgusted by the favoritism, disrespect and total ignorance of these people. I would be embarrassed to show this disfunctional disgusting family unit if it was mine – grow some parental skills people!!

Just had the pleasure of watching this rubbish on Channel Ten in Australia, I am so glad I have moved over here if that is now family life in the UK, what a terrible ignorant disfunctional family. With all the good programmes offered around the world how did this rubbish make it to Australian TV?
