Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe show's title comes from the fact that it initially focused mainly on a single extended family, the Hart/Gates family. With ratings low, Brian Park, who had been credited with revitalising Coronation Street (1960), was brought in as the new producer in 1998 - his first decision being to kill off all remaining members of the show's central family, drastically altering the premise that gave the show its title.

Interesting British Soap
This is a nice addition to the soap world by new channel Channel 5. It started out boring but has picked up since Brian Park joined the cast and wrote out an entire family (who were boring really). Me and my girlfriend religiously watch this. Doesn't compare to the big two (Eastenders and Coronation Street), but worth a look.
