Life Of Riley: Caroline Quentin stars in new BBC One sitcom

Caroline Quentin returns to BBC One in brand new six-part sitcom Life Of Riley, currently in production for transmission in the New Year.

Maddy’s just got married again. And she’s about to find out what happens when two families collide.

Suddenly she finds herself presiding over a modern-day extended family: children, step-children, step-siblings and half-siblings, with a few ex-partners and in-laws thrown in.

Maddy is like Roseanne but thinner, like Seinfeld but with dirtier trainers, like Victor Meldrew – but she does believe it.

In Life Of Riley, Maddy discovers that parenting has never been so difficult or complicated and she finds herself outwitted at every turn by people a quarter of her age.

    I know i pissed myself when his dad laughed at the girl dressed as an elf at the end. I thought that was his name but it sounds old so thought it could be the dad lol

    Yeah how digusting :p

    And anyway not like we’re being serious it’s called having FUN seriously… lighten up!

  11. Ariane says:

    erm btw whatever Paula, i actually didn’t say that you were sad so get your facts correct for future refrences. And some of you people’s comments are just funny, – to me anyways. no need to have a hissy fit over it, im just rightly expressing my views. and i have great understanding of what 2fun2 is thank you very much.

    - peace

    Ariane

  12. Paula says:

    ha lol sure, it’s really a “hissy fit.” I will get my facts straight so don’t have a go at me.. And no-one said you can’t ‘express your views’! Why don’t you take your cockey self and leave if you have such a big problem with people. Pft, get over your self :D

  13. Ariane says:

    ha ha ha your so funny. i knew you wouldn’t be able not to comment like a mauture person. which *cough* you are obviously NOT. oh and btw i think you’ll find it’s YOU who needs to get over themselves… and maybe you should also get a life, other than drooling over 15/ 16 year olds. how about get a boyfriend or something. and yes now i am implying you are SAD. and if you have such a problem with me expressing my views why don’t you leave. :P

    -Ariane

  14. Katie says:

    whooo, i’ve just been checking out your comments people, and wow. argument or what? come on people just chill. no need for fighting. : ) just say sorry man

  15. ria mason says:

    lol i am friends with people he goes to school with and who are friends with him lol :) yay me..and yh omgosh i love his hair lool :) xx

  16. Jess says:

    What school does he go to? (:

  17. ria mason says:

    sorry i don’t actually know what the school is called, sorry guys. x

  18. evie says:

    love this programme :)
    its so funny,
    yes girls – we all think taylor is fit
    but get over it.
    makes me laugh when the boys say he’s gay
    cause they’re obv. jealous :L

  19. Alex says:

    Ariane is so right…

  20. Ariane says:

    thank you people who actually have sense! [evie & alex] omg i never thought i’d see the day. i didn’t mean to sound rude or anything, but it’s just harsh reality. ok so we get you think the guy is fit, oyu like his hair (weird but ok then). yeah yeah ok, but could you STOP posting patheticness on here as if he really is going to come on here and do jumps over a rainbow to see your comments. i think not. just stop please! it’s kinda boring. if you have anything PRODUCTIVE to say i.e about the actual show and how cool or non cool you think it is, then i’m up for some debating on why it is good or why the show is crap : ) until then

    -Ariane

  21. Paula says:

    Uh excuse me Ariane, so you can tell me what to do, but leave long ass comments pretending you are something special, I don’t need you telling me what to do, How old are you exactly?
    You sound like an old woman!
    Wow, i’ve never seen someone so bicthy, well if you don’t have anything nice to say then maybe you should leave, you shouldn’t have got involved then. Laugh it off, it’s cool, and grow up, looks like you need back up with people who have “sense”, you don’t know me so don’t judge. Prejudice person! :D

  22. Fran says:

    You didn’t mean to be rude!? Yeah right! Your just trying to act big and put her down, thats pathetic. She can write what the hell she wants on here so don’t tell her what she can and can’t do. Your the one who started the problem so you leave!

    And it’s not like we magicly expect them to come on or anything saying he’s good looking and a good actor is an opinion and people are just sharing that. So stop acting like a SNOB!

    -Peace

  23. Ariane says:

    AND I’N NOT a snob you dick!

  24. megan says:

    omg, tim you said you no taylor fawcett!!!

  25. ria mason says:

    it depends who you talk to megan, two of the people i know who know him, one is mates with him and one very muchly dislikes him lol :) x

  26. ria mason says:

    and also, it makes me laugh, no offense, how people are taking this ‘conversation’ so seriously :p XX

  27. Paula says:

  31. allyman says:

    OMG ! i cant beleive the comments. This is supposed to be about the show NOT one individual and how hes bloody hair looks! What about the rest of the cast? I googled all of them. Apart from the adults only Carolines Daughter and the boy next door have ever done tv before. Keep it show comments guys !

  32. Amy Banda says:

    I am sooooo sad that tomorrow Life of Riley is finishing! Hopefully a new series will be on soon x

  33. Amy Banda says:

    Oh and hey Georgia! I thought you weren’t supposed to comment on here????? x

  34. JANINNE says:

    IM Sad its the last episode too. does anyone know if its coming back for another series ?

    I know Jordan (Adam Weaver ) He goes to Sylvia Youngs in London With Jay (Eastenders ). I think both the boys are hot but i think Jordan is better.Really hope it is on again.( But more Adam Weaver Pleeeeeease ! )

    I don’t know if I was watching the same programme as the rest,or as the description of the show this website has given it reprinted above but this show is not a comedy a travesty yes,I have never seen such a bad comedy show the BBC have paid someone to do this and used licence payers money to do it and thats the best joke on here.

  37. Jess says:

    What school does he go to?

  38. Paula says:

    Lol, can’t believe that it has ended. Was such a funny last episode though! xD So Hope it comes back on :]

  39. me says:

    Think I’ve laughed more at the comments on here than I did at the entire series of Life Of Riley.

    Anyway, I think the programme got a lot better as it went on. Last episode was hilerious :)
