Happy Families is a rural comedy drama written by Ben Elton which was a BBC series first broadcast in 1985. It recounts the tale of the dysfunctional Fuddle family. It stars Jennifer Saunders as Granny Fuddle, Dawn French as the Cook and Adrian Edmondson as her imbecilic grandson Guy. The series centred on Guy's attempts to find his four sisters – also played by Saunders – for a family reunion.<br /><br />Cast<br />Jennifer Saunders as Granny, Cassie, Madeleine, Joyce and Roxanne Fuddle<br />Adrian Edmondson as Guy Fuddle, Grandpa Harold Fuddle<br />Dawn French as Cook<br />Stephen Fry as Dr. De Quincy<br />Helen Lederer as Flossie<br />Jim Broadbent as Dalcroix<br />Hugh Laurie as Jim<br />Una Stubbs as Mother Superior<br />Christine Edmunds as Maxine<br />Ceri Jackson as Sister Ophelia<br />Claudette Williams as Jill<br />Rik Mayall as Nazi pastor<br />Chris Barrie as Sammy<br /><br />Production and visual style<br />Each sister's story was shot in a different "style" of film; Cassie's story was shot to make it appear to be a U.S. soap opera, Madelaine's story was shot in soft focus to make it appear to be a French film, Roxanne's story was filmed as though appearing in a gritty BBC documentary, and Joyce's story was filmed like an Ealing comedy.<br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Families_(1985_TV_series" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Families_(1985_TV_series</a>)<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82ORN4afRaA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82ORN4afRaA</a>
