Name the TV show... it's really bugging me...

Hazard County is the only one you're likely to get....does come with a Daisy though...every cloud etc...

This of course is dependent upon your tax status with HMRC.

I think you'll find Phil & "The Missus" no longer have significant influence in that particular colony, something to do with a misunderstanding in the 18th century. If my tax status becomes an issue, I'll bung him a case or two of something good from the cellar. By the time he's finished that lot, he'll have forgotten all about the memo...

Have your butler stand on the other side of the room with a fruity cocktail of some kind (the more sweet and disgusting the better, I find). Any fruit flies in the vicinity will descend upon his concoction in preference to your Margaux. Should you feel the need to thank me for this advice, I crave not financial reward, but I wouldn't say no to a Dukedom. Make it a good one though...

A happy punter then. On to more pressing matters;

There are some fruit flies in here that are really pissing me off. Two were drowned in my claret earlier. Does anyone have an idea for trapping the twats which doesn't involve vintage wine?

Was the psychologist called Robert Robinson?

The format of the show was not that different from 'Ask The Family' quiz show, the set was familiar, the two separated parts of the family except that I think I remember that the psychologist got up from his chair and approached the troublesome family who were sat in either of the two panels.

Did I dream it or am I going mad ?
It could have been called "Root of the Matter" or "Family roots' or 'Family Ties'. The intro had the faces of the family, I can remember the 'goth girl' family member' on it.

i can't remember whether it was on BBC1, BB2, ITV (doubt it as it was dark humor) or Channel 4.

Silly replies above as expected.

[WTFH]

Also I vaguely remember there being two panels where the family was split apart into feuding factions.

I thought that the psychologist driving the interviews and the analysis and questions was played by David Suchet but I cannot see anything on his imdb.

Rainbow ?

I sew Jeffrey at his Ed Fringe show about Rainbow when he did that a few years ago. He is a very bitter man...... We left feeling traumatized after he stole our childhood. Someone cried out 'You can't do that to us Jeffrey'. Later that evening I paid to see thye Hamiltons - Neil mincing about in a black leather kilt and pink socks and Christine guzzling champagne from the bottle. Christine thres a flapjack at my lady friend, so I lobbed it back and struck Neils knee. Happy days.......

That'll be 'family fortunes'

Ok, think about to around the early to mid 1990s, a British produced mini series (fictional). It was like a TV show within a TV show whereby a TV psychologist had a panel which consisted of around 6 members of the same family who were troubled and were quizzed throughout the show to try and get to the root of the problem.

The main problem being that the brother who was a young man / adolescent just didn't talk, he had obviously been through some sort of trauma. It was heavy on the dark humor. I remember some drama when the boy actually started to speak. Also I remember a goth girl on the panel who could have been the sister of the boy/young man who stopped talking. It could have been called "Family Roots" / "Family <something>", dunno what the title is, I've looked everywhere on the web imdb etc and I can find nothing.

Did I dream it ? am I going mad ? anyone out there know the show ?
