All About George

All About George was a British family "comedy drama"[1] which followed the extended family of George Kinsey (Rik Mayall).[2] The characters included five generations, from George's grandmother (Edna Doré) to his first granddaughter, Jasmine. One six-episode series was made; it aired in 2005.[1] The Evening Standard's television editor Terry Ramsey described the show as "a swan among TV dramas; on the surface smooth and unruffled, and almost uninvolving; yet underneath those plots are working like mad to keep us interested."[3]
