Outnumbered (TV Series) Christmas Special 2012 (2012) User Reviews

Very funny

Taken me a while to get to this one, six years after the rest of it. A very funny, chaotic experience and Mark Heap stole the show (as per). Great to see the main cast on form and an all round good time.

favorite xmas episode of series

Outnumbered is a series we watch over and over, when it's available to stream. We notice this excellent episode has been cut from Prime Video only. Cannot imagine why this could be. The writing is up to standard, the characters are full, the storylines are varied and showcase some favorite UK actors. It's hilarious. Prime Video should reinstate it as Ep.8 of Season 4. Please . . .

Awful

I hate kids,especially precocious ones so it was to my surprise that I found myself firstly liking and then loving this series. The performances of all the characters(including the adults!)was extraordinary and the scripts hilarious. But the 2012 Christmas Special unfortunately was absolutely dire.Why?Well I think the main problem is that the kids have grown up.Ben is now twelve but looks at least eighteen and Karen is ten and looks about fourteen.The scriptwriters took a decision to relegate them to supporting roles and instead concentrated on a (very)odd bunch of party guests all of whom overacted like mad.Couple this with a director who thinks it is trendy not to use a Steadycam and you have a disaster. I don't know if another series is planned but I certainly hope not.It's run its course.
