The Brockman Family. From left to right: Ben, Jake, Karen, Sue, PeteOutnumbered is a BBC1 half-hour semi-improvised sitcom, which aired its first series over two weeks in 2007, and its second over seven weeks in 2008. Five full series plus three Christmas specials aired in total, with the fifth series in early 2014 intended to be the last; however, a further Christmas special was broadcast in 2016.It follows the Brockmans, a family of five, who live somewhere in West London (ages are of as the final series): Pete (Hugh Dennis) - father, a History teacher. Sue (Claire Skinner) - mother, part time PA. Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) - the eldest sibling at 17, going through a "self-righteous" stage. Ben (Daniel Roche) - younger son at 13, pathological liar with a new-found interest in psychology. Karen (Ramona Marquez) - disturbingly inquisitive 11 year old, who has trouble making friends due to her superiority complex.(The series progresses in real time, meaning the characters age as their actors do)The show is semi-improvised, with the kids being given the basic outline and then going from there. Not to be confused with the Super Solvers game of the same name. | |

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry | |
| Outnumbered / int_1a09b4f9 | comment |
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Sue's difficult relationship with Angela approaches outright non-comedy warfare by the last series (and involved occasional minor physical violence in earlier episodes). Angela is "the beautiful sister", being an extrovert, often vacuous globe-trotter with a string of strange and often younger boyfriends; Sue is "the smart sister" in this pairing, despite being quite socially functional — she is, if not actually much more intelligent than Angela, then much more grounded and sensible. A male version exists with Ben and Jake. At the beginning of the series, Ben is the 'attractive' one, who is outgoing, rebellious and just wants to have fun, while Jake is the 'smart' one, being dorky and always worrying about something. Interestingly as the series continues they effectively switch positions, with Jake losing his geeky aspects (or at least hiding them) and becoming more popular, while Ben turns out to be extremely bright, loves playing chess, doing science experiments and plays Spartacus in the school musical. Also see Hourglass Plot. | |

In the earlier series, Karen also drew pictures which qualify. For example: a cow...which has escaped captivity because it didn't want to be eaten, and is now murdering all the burger-eaters... | |

Hourglass Plot: Jake and Ben have shades of this. At the beginning of the series, Jake is the serious, geeky older brother who is much closer to his parents, while Ben is the loud, thoughtless tearaway. As the series continues, Jake becomes a lot 'cooler' (or at least he thinks he does) and distances himself from his family, while Ben embraces his geekier side and is a lot more affectionate. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| Outnumbered / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: Of a type; in series 4, Ben uses a Frankie Boyle joke in his act for the school talent show. Hugh Dennis (Pete) and Frankie Boyle used to appear on Mock the Week together. There are more than a few Doctor Who references. Claire Skinner (Sue) had a guest role in the 2011 Christmas special for that year, while David Troughton (Mr Hunslet) guest roles in several stories spanning from 1968 to 2008: "The Enemy of the World", "The War Games", "The Curse of Peladon" and "Midnight" (as well as being the son of Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor). Outnumbered also featured Silas Carson (Ravi), Sanjeev Bhaskar (Ray), Rebecca Front (Karen's headteacher) and John Sessions (the vicar at Bob's funeral), both of whom had various roles in the show's post-2005 revival. Finally, Samantha Bond (Angela) had a role as a villain in Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures, while guest star Katy Wix also appeared in Torchwood: Children of Earth. The Star Wars universe is mentioned semi-regularly. The aforementioned Silas Carson had two roles in the prequel trilogy, specifically that of Ki-Adi Mundi and Nute Gunray. Pete name-drops Horrible Histories in Series 4. Katy Wix, a member of the ensemble cast, had a guest role as a prospective buyer of the Brockman's house. Karen mentions The Simpsons in Series 2. Harry Shearer, who voiced various characters in The Simpsons, including Ned Flanders, had a guest cameo in Series 5 as Sue's American client in Communication Skills. | |

The Star Wars universe is mentioned semi-regularly. The aforementioned Silas Carson had two roles in the prequel trilogy, specifically that of Ki-Adi Mundi and Nute Gunray. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Jake in Series 3 goes from mild-mannered to a rather moody Jerk with a Heart of Gold, as his teenage slouchiness and perversion kicks in. Karen becomes rather sullen and rude in series 5. In the 2016 special, she's not as rude and sullen, but retains her laser sharp Brutal Honesty. | |

Epic Fail: Pete throws the Wiimote into the TV by accident and breaks it, after managing to get first place on Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for the first time (which he only did because the others were all in bed). Earlier in the same episode, Pete is shown doing very badly at the game, and Ben lampshades this word for word. When Ben clogs up the washing machine by putting in two loads at once (don't ask), Jake brings up how Pete once tried to fix the radiators himself, and they ended up full of sewage. Hot sewage. Pete blames it on a systemic design flaw. | |

Jerkass | |

Jerkass: Angela, Sue's sister. Has insulted the kids frequently and triggered many arguments. Also abandoned Grandad with pretty much no notice or regard for him. Brick is retroactively revealed to be one in the fifth episode of Series 4. On a slightly less serious note, the headteacher of the school Pete used to teach at. Blames Pete for doctoring a prospectus to make the school look better and lets him take the fall for it (though to be fair he did doctor it but under the head's orders). Karen's headteacher is a massive one, channelling The Trunchbull (ironic, given how she was ranting about how she hates Roald Dahl) by essentially telling Karen that she's nothing special and that she's a stupid little girl for thinking otherwise. Whether you think the speech was needed for Karen to Take A Level In Kindness or not, it was still incredibly nasty and not at all something anyone in charge of children should do. The policeman in the 2012 Christmas special for utter abuse of power, lying about the donkey incident that Jake's "friend" caused. | |

Sue's difficult relationship with Angela approaches outright non-comedy warfare by the last series (and involved occasional minor physical violence in earlier episodes). Angela is "the beautiful sister", being an extrovert, often vacuous globe-trotter with a string of strange and often younger boyfriends; Sue is "the smart sister" in this pairing, despite being quite socially functional — she is, if not actually much more intelligent than Angela, then much more grounded and sensible. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Archie the Dog does seem rather playful when the family look after him on behalf of some friends of theirs, if a bit reluctant to go to his bed. Then Sue and Pete let him out the back garden; he goes into a garden next door and breaks into a guinea pig hutch, killing all the guinea pigs. After being told of this, Pete coins the nickname "Psycho Lassie". Thankfully, this is offscreen. | |

Pet the Dog: While Ben is not exactly a dog kicker and more a crazy child, he is actually very respectful of Uncle Bob, and is very nice when talking about him during the first episode of series 4. He also stops using the word "gay" as an insult after learning Uncle Bob and Uncle Bernard were a gay couple. | |
