A radical six-part comedy drama.
1: Just Talking.
Five years ago, the Wolvises appeared as a happy and communicative family on the popular quiz show Ask the Family. Now their teenage son Stuart, once so chirpy and outgoing, has stopped speaking altogether. Family therapist Dr Graham Wilcockson has decided to conduct their therapy in front of television cameras. The family has agreed, but will they co-operate totally? In this first session, the difficulties of communicating with one another are painfully revealed.
