I have no idea why...

The national media persist in describing the titular family in The Family as "dysfunctional".

They're more functional than my family, Hagrid's family, and far more so than the families of the vast majority of my friends, many of which have been *actually* dysfunctional, what with the beatings and the abuse and the parental addictions and all.

So either those journalists had idyllic family lives, or... they're not admitting something.

I know of one, 1, family more "functional" than the one on Channel 4. And, frankly, that makes them freaks. And they're enormously rich, which oils the wheels of family life somewhat if there are few problems already.

Though the Hugheses are pretty damned rich - a PS3 and a Wii? In my day...

Our family? Dysfunctional? Surely not!! Remember that friend of yours who wasn't allowed to come round here because the house was full of actors which made it "too bohemian"? HAH!
