Synopsis:

A resounding success over five series between 1980 and 1983, this Thames Television comedy is set in the delightfully chaotic home of Dudley and Muriel Rush, whose daughters, Jacqui and Susan, satisfy a hankering for freedom by moving into the family's vacant basement flat. Dudley is a gifted cartoonist but an inveterate procrastinator with a fondness for practical jokes, who finds it hard to concentrate amid an ever-increasing number of distractions - to the despair of his long-suffering agent, Duncan. But at least he can still keep an eye on his wayward daughters, and their visitors... Starring Robert Gillespie, Stacy Dorning (Black Beauty) and Pauline Yates (The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin), Keep It in the Family was created by sitcom veteran Brian Cooke (Man About the House, George and Mildred) and co-written by Fenn Street Gang star David Barry. The complete first series - also featuring Roy Kinnear, Pat Coombs and Bert Kwouk - is released here for the first time on DVD.

Dudley Rush is an artist with a difference! Eccentric and childlike, he insists, among other things, on wearing his large-sized lion ventriloquist glove puppet on his hand whenever he draws the comic strip "Barney, The Bionic Bulldog". As Dudley is not at all happy with having to spend what he considers valuable time working, he is always procrastinating, with this often leading to his being late in meeting the 'dead-line' for the comic strip - to the continuing frustration of his long-suffering agent, Duncan Thomas (who often falls victim to Dudley's practical jokes). Duncan frequently visits the Rush family home to collect Dudley's latest drawings, and, as it is quite obvious that he is strongly attracted to Dudley's attractive wife Muriel, this often leads to bouts of excessive jealousy on Dudley's part. As Duncan also delightedly consumes an excessive number of Muriel's delicious cakes whenever he visits the Rush family home, this is an added source of annoyance for Dudley. With Dudley, Muriel, and their attractive daughters, Jackie and Susan, all being blessed with a wonderfully weird and ready wit all their own, life in the Rush family home is always lively and never dull.
