| - The main characters Ben (Robert Lindsay), a dentist; Susan (Zoe Wanamaker), a tour guide and later an Art gallery owner; Nick (Kris Marshall), a total layabout; Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe), a shallow clothes obsessive; And Michael (Gabriel Thomson), who is very intelligent. Other characters such as: Abi (Siobhan Hayes), Ben's cousin and is very dim-witted; Roger (Keiron Self), a fellow dentist and a complete annoyance to Ben; Alfie (Rhodri Meilir), a friend of Nick's who is a struggling musician; Kenzo (Tayler Marshall), Janey's son who often tries to outsmart his family; And Grace (Avril Elgar & Rosemary Leach), Susan's mother who is locked in psychological warfare with her. The show comes to an end in 2011, after 11 years of the Harpers.
- "My Family" is an unreleased song by Duran Duran, recorded during the Liberty album demo sessions held between August and September 1989.
- My Family is a British sitcom which began in 2000. My Family was created by American Fred Barron for the BBC. It stared Robert Lindsay and Zoë Wanamaker as Ben and Susan Harper of the Harper Family, a middle class family who live in Chiswick, west London.
- A British Dom Com made by The BBC. It feels somewhat more like an American series than most other Brit Coms, because it was created by an American, Fred "Caroline in The City" Barron, and was produced by the more American styled "team of writers" format (British sitcoms usually only have one or two writers). Came twenty-fourth in Britains Best Sitcom.

- "My Family" is an unreleased song by Duran Duran, recorded during the Liberty album demo sessions held between August and September 1989.
- A British Dom Com made by The BBC. It feels somewhat more like an American series than most other Brit Coms, because it was created by an American, Fred "Caroline in The City" Barron, and was produced by the more American styled "team of writers" format (British sitcoms usually only have one or two writers). The plot is centered around the (of course) dysfunctional Harper clan. Ben, the Dad, is an Al Bundy-esque dentist (only less of a intentional jerk, more of a man of many misunderstandings). His wife is the put-upon Control Freak tour guide Susan. They love each other but express their love through sarcasm most of the time. Their kids are:
* Nick, who is one part Schemer and one part Lazy Bum. While old enough to move out, he hasn't yet (Ben wishes he would, Susan can't stand the idea). He does eventually.
* Janey, the standard Bratty Teenage Daughter obsessed with manipulating her family to get her own way. Not a Daddy's Girl, however, as Ben doesn't trust her as far as he can throw her.
* Michael, the Teen Genius, easily the smartest and most responsible member of the family. Not that this is particularly hard. Janey eventually moves out to go to university (she later drops out) and then becomes a single mother. She is replaced by Abi, Ben's Phoebe-ish Ditz/Cloudcuckoolander (it varies) cousin. Later seasons see the appearance of Butt Monkey Roger (Ben's fellow dentist and later husband of Abi) and Alfie, Nick's Welsh Cloudcuckoolander friend who comes to live with the family. In later years, Ben becomes the prominent Butt Monkey to the point of Deus Angst Machina and sometimes even Kafka Komedy. The result is a show which can be funny, but that often falls a bit flat because there are already plenty of these type of shows being imported from America anyway. It seems to have developed a fair-sized Hatedom and in any discussion about the decline in quality of British TV or recent sitcoms, My Family is guaranteed to be mentioned at some point. Came twenty-fourth in Britains Best Sitcom.
