Zoe Wanamaker reveals future for beloved BBC sitcom My Family and if it will ever return - 14 years after it was axed


The actress, 75, starred in hit BBC sitcom My Family, about a white household in West London, for 11 years until 2011.

They admitted their output had become too focused on one social group with shows such as My Family and Outnumbered, and that they were actively searching for more working-class comedy. 'All I got told was that the BBC didn't want to have any more middle-class sitcoms, which was kind of shooting yourself in the foot really, as a statement, because along comes Miranda Hart, who is the most wonderful... and she is not exactly working-class.' Announcing that the 11th series of My Family would be the last, BBC1 controller Danny Cohen said: 'Now that all the Harper children have fled the nest we feel it's time to make room for new comedies.'
