It followed the Porter family, who live in Chiswick, London, and their normal everyday lives that become chaotic and madcap with unusual events, creating the usual sitcom-style situations to deal with.

The mum of the family, Bill, is played by Belinda Lang, and she has to look after the household while working as a baker with her provocative friend Rona, played by Julia Hills.

The dad of the family is Ben, played by Gary Olsen, who runs a heating repair business.

And the kids are moody teenager Jenny, played by two different actresses, Claire Woodgate in series 1 and 2, and replaced by Claire Bookfield for the remaining series.

Things were about to get very strange indeed.

Rudyard Ruins Everything, Day One, was written by David K. Barnes and performed by Felix Trench as Rudyard, Beth Eyre as Antigone, Tom Crowley as Eric, Keira Baxendale as Georgie, Andy Seacombe as Reverend Wavering, and Belinda Lang as Madeline, with additional voices by Holly Campbell and Pip Gladwin.

The production manager was Elizabeth Campbell and the music was composed by James Whittle.

The programme was recorded at Sonica Studios and was directed and produced by Andy Goddard and John Wakefield.
