Here We Go: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Katherine Parkinson and Alison Steadman star in this chaotic family comedy
Year: 2020-
Certificate: 15
Just after Christmas 2020, the comedy pilot Pandemonium introduced us to the Jessops, who were trying to enjoy their summer holiday - in Margate, in October - after the pandemic put paid to their plans to go to America. The show reflected how so many of us were feeling then: cash-strapped, fed up and unable to go abroad, but set on making the most of time with our families.
When it returned as a series in 2022 it had a new name but the core cast - Alison Steadman as matriarch Sue, Horrible Histories' Jim Howick as her son Paul, and Katherine Parkinson as Paul's wife Rachel - remained as we followed a year in the lives of the chaotic clan. It was warm, funny and perfectly captured the chaos of modern family life.
In the opener to the second series, mum Rachel grapples with being a 'mature' student, and hosts a seriously uncool party that ends with her head in the toilet. Meanwhile, Paul swans about in a nightie, as embarrassing as ever, and a very stroppy Amy (Freya Parks) is disgruntled at home after returning from her trip to Norway. The gang also get together to head out on the water in Paul's old boat. Well, 'blow-up dinghy' might be a more apt term.
The latest, third series begins with plans to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Rachel and Paul; then, Rachel becomes somewhat overkeen to befriend the new neighbours...
The show has already covered the chaos of family Christmasses so for 2025/26 they did a New Year's special instead, which actually begins on Bonfire Night. Follow the Jessops over eight eventful weeks as Rachel plans a massive New Year's Eve party while Paul tries to hide and tend to his latest ailment. (Three series)
