I first saw Hugh Dennis on Taskmaster and I thought he was really funny. In Outnumbered Hugh plays Pete, a husband and father of three children who teaches history at a rough school. Tyger Drew-Honey plays Jake, the oldest child whose just started secondary school. I loved Tyger as Dylan in Cuckoo and it was great seeing him again but much younger. The two other kids completely ruined the show for me especially Ben as he is the most obnoxious character I've ever seen.
