Happy Families
This one off 6 part series written by Ben Elton was screened in 1985.
Granny Fuddle has 9 months to live, apparently, so she sends her only grandson, Guy to go and find his 4 sisters so they
can be reunited as a family again.
Dawn stars as the cook in every episode, all though her part is quite small compared to Jennifers 5 characters
Cast
Jennifer Saunders as all of the Fuddle family
Apart from Adrian Edmondson as Guy Fuddle
Dawn French as Cook
Helen Lederer as Flossie
Stephen Fry as Doctor De Quincy
This is well worth the watch if you can get hold of it.
