Parents (TV series)

Parents is a British sitcom starring Sally Phillips as Jenny Pope, a middle-class woman in her forties who moves, along with her husband and their teenage son and daughter, from London, to live with her parents in Kettering.

The show ran for one series, broadcast on Sky 1 from 6 July to 3 August 2012.

On 5 March 2013, Sky confirmed that Parents would not return for a second series.

[4] Heat Magazine described the first episode as "good fun"[5] whilst The Telegraph said it "shows some promise and boasts a good cast"[6] and praised the writing, saying "the script is sharp, zeitgeisty, and just the right side of cloying".

[7] The Guardian was more critical of episode one, saying it "fails to make the leap from paper to screen"[8] but responded much more positively to subsequent episodes, calling the show "an utter pleasure"[9] and "beautifully written".
