The Wilsons
The dysfunctional life of the Wilson family. The Wilsons are a one-parent family with a difference. The difference being that the one parent happens to be Ray, a friendly but hopeless fifty-something with a spectacular drink problem. The only time Ray refuses a drink is if he misunderstands the question. Fortunately for the Wilson children - all five of them - they have Dilly, the eldest daughter at age 30 who, since their mum died, has reluctantly brought the rest of them up. The children are; Jason who's hasn't spoken since he witnessed the accident in which his mum died; Poppy, who is convinced she would be better off in care; Dougie, who is an optimist despite failing at everything and Jo, who has candy floss where her brain should be. So that's The Wilsons. Not exactly The Waltons, but they do sort of love each other and they do agree wholeheartedly on one thing: that their social worker Colin is a complete idiot. And they're right.
