Big Kids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Kids was a children's television show that originally aired on the BBC in 2000 from September 27 to December 20. It followed the lives of the Spiller family, Sarah Spiller (Imogen Stubbs) a music teacher, Geoff Spiller (Duncan Duff) a doctor, Simon Spiller (Matt Adams) and Kate Spiller (Kelly Salmon). One night they go to a school charity event, and are hypnotised by a hypnotist called Ming. So now every time someone says the word 'ming' in any sentence, the parents start to act like children, much to the embarrassment of Kate and Simon.

The show only lasted for one season, but was relatively popular while it did.
