Family Business is a six-part British television drama series, created and written by playwright Tony Grounds, that first broadcast on BBC1 on 11 February 2004.
[1] The series stars Jamie Foreman and Elizabeth Berrington as Marky and Jessica Brooker, the proprietors of a family-run building firm who, after years of hard work and graft, are due to move into the family home of their dreams – until the day of the move is unexpectedly rocked by the disappearance of their eldest child, James (Michael Tucek).
The series broadcast over six consecutive weeks, with the concluding episode on 17 March 2004.
"[1] Greg Brenman, Head of Drama at Tiger Aspect, added: "On the surface, the Brookers are an ordinary family – close-knit loving and supportive of each other.
"[1] BBC Head of Drama Commissioning, Gareth Neame, added: "We've been enthusiastic about working with Tony Grounds on a show about the modern British family for some time and we're delighted that Family Business will be his first drama series for BBC One.
