That's right everyone, Mum, Dad, Adam, Johnny and of course the neighbour nobody wants, Jim will be returning to our screens for a one off 90 minute documentary special.
It's been 10 years since the original pilot episode aired on channel 4. Since then 6 series followed and it was fantastic! The relationship between brothers, Adam and Johnny was all of us who have older or younger siblings.

Of course probably the funniest thing about the show was Jim. The oddball next door neighbour who had the strangest relationship with his dog, Wilson.
The 90 minute behind the scenes look will feature all of the main cast members, including most of the supporting cast. They will be looking back at the show and sharing some fond memories and some of the best moments from the cult classic.
The original episode aired 25th of February 2011, feel old yet? From then it went on to film 37 episodes over 6 series and won countless awards in the process. Mainly due to its realistic portrayal of typical British families.
The main plot of each episode centres around the Goodman family home on a Friday night. The two son's, who live away come back for a good old fashioned home cooked meal, because nobody cooks food like your mother. Each episode has them arguing, throwing stuff and playing pranks on each other, usually involving salt.
Martin, the Dad, spends most of his time shirtless and in his garage and is always up to something strange, whether it's eating out of the bin or freezing foxes in his chest freezer (honestly don't ask). You'd be forgiven in thinking that's the weirdest thing about the show, but it's not, as in each episode Jim turns up with his dog. We won't say anymore but look out for the episode with the fruit basket, that's our favourite.
If you haven't watched it yet, we suggest you start, you will not be disappointed.
If that isn't enough to keep your funny bones satisfied, after the behind the scenes show channel 4 will also be airing the best 3 episodes, as voted for by the public.
No news on when it will air, but rest assured when it does...we will be watching.
