Has Abi ever seen the sound of music?
Sleepin_Dragon6 May 2020
Susan is a little frustrated with Ben, and demands that he doesn't make any advances for her for three weeks. A letter is waiting for the pair on the kitchen table, from Abi, with some unexpected and shocking news.

Abi and Roger have had much less to do in this series, and when they have appeared it's generally been the same old formula. However the pair are hilarious here, both having some hilarious lines. Janey's new boyfriend is very funny, she knows how to pick them.

So long, auf wiedersehen, the references are so funny. Favourite scene has to be Ben and Roger dressed up, I laughed out loud.

A very funny end to the series, 8/10.

A potential 'jump the shark moment'
studioAT1 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Having been so central in S5-7 Abi and Roger have been reduced to smaller roles in S8, but even so, I never expected Abi to leave, or to doing so to become a nun.

To be honest, although I'm a big 'My Family' fan, I'll defend it against those who say it wasn't good once Nick left, but even I have to say that this was a bit of a 'jump the shark' moment for me.

Maybe there were references to the change in Abi in the episodes we know were made for S8 but were deemed not worthy of being shown, but this seems very sudden and out of character.

It's all well played though, with a good script from Tom Anderson, and is extremely funny in places, but it's certainly a bolt from the blue.

S8 though overall has been a good one for 'My Family'.
