My Family (TV Series) A Wife Less Ordinary (2004) User Reviews

Actors are in top form as always

[leetylr · 8/10 · 22 October 2014]

All the actors are in top form as always. Both Ben(Robert Lindsay) and Susan(Zoë Wanamaker) are pure magic together and are the backbone of this excellent series(just like a real husband and wife keeping the family together).

All the other actors have only small parts in this episode, but fill in the blanks perfectly.

This episode is a good vehicle for Janey(Daniela Denby-Ashe) showing off her amazing versatile range of emotions and comedic skills.

All in all an excellent addition to this clever and in my mind always hilarious series.

Daniella Denby Ashe steals the episode

[studioAT · 8/10 · 22 April 2020]

Susan and Janey do a bit of life swapping, in a stellar episode of the show, and probably one of the episodes from across all 10 series that she appeared in to show off the talents of Daniella Denby Ashe.

She's hysterical here, as Janey takes the whole life swap a bit too seriously, and ends up having a break down. It's funnier than it sounds.

The Ben and Susan storyline is also a lot of fun, with them recreating their first date.

This 5th series has produced some good episodes overall, and this is another example of that.

This is one of my favourites

The reason why this is one of my favourites spoilers is because of the scene where Janey goes for Michael and Abi has to stop her, gotta give top marks and praise to Daniela Denby-Ashe for the emotions she expressed in this episode 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
