The show centres around the Goodmans, a secular Jewish family who reunite every Friday evening for Shabbat, and is inspired by writer and producer Robert Popper's own upbringing.

What's going to happen?

Expect more ritual family conflicts and wonderfully awkward tiffs. Martin (Paul Ritter) and Jackie (Tamsin Greig) have bought a new hot tub, and as the fifth series opens, sons Adam and Jonny are appalled to find their parents enjoying the new toy ("Are you making a rap video or something?").

Meanwhile, neighbour Jim - whose bizarre coughing and sneezing fits almost steal the show - leaves the family with Wilson, his Alsatian, which proves bad news for the family's furniture.
