The Daily Mirror today reports that when the latest series of Outnumbered has aired – it will be the show’s fifth series which was produced after a year long hiatus – the show will be axed.

Tyger Drew-Honey, who of course plays Jake, told the paper, “This series is the last series.

“Never say never, but the directors and writers have said that they don’t want to do another.

“Some shows do go on too long and some of them are just making more series for the sake of it.”

He added that he and his fellow cast members are currently working on the fifth series as well as a Christmas Special.

He said, “We’re starting filming in November for seven weeks.

“The Christmas special will be Christmas Eve, probably, and series five will probably not be out until May.” Read more & comment »

Tyger Drew-Honey, who of course stars in Outnumbered, has branded rival BBC sitcom My Family “a bit predictable”.

My Family has of course recent been cancelled by the BBC after having aired for 11 years. Outnumbered meanwhile is set to return to TV next week for its fourth run.

Speaking to the PA, Tyger said, “I’ve never really got into another family sitcom.

“I have tried to watch My Family before but I found it a bit predictable.

“I think Outnumbered is generally more refreshing [than other sitcoms].

“People can relate to it much more.”

Outnumbered star Tyger Drew-Honey has told The Sun’s TV Biz that his character Jake has “grown up” and become “cool.”

Outnumbered returns to our screens for a new series in September, and Tyger says that we’ll see a very different Jake…

He said, “He’s gone from being a bit bullied to being more popular.

“He’s got friends and a girlfriend, he’s in a band and is turning into an all right sort of guy.

“Hopefully he’ll do OK at school.”

Tyger went on to hint that this series may be the last, saying “There might be another series after this one, but we wouldn’t want it to lose its novelty.” Read more & comment »

The PA report that as the 15-year-old actor, who plays sulky teenager Jake on the show, is an only child, he’s come to look upon Daniel and Ramona as a real brother and sister.

He said, “I know Jake gets annoyed by Ben, but I get annoyed by Dan, the actor who plays him.

“All the kids have the same sort of relationship as our characters do.

“They’re both lovely, but we work together for seven weeks at a time with two days off a week and we’re with each other the whole time.

“So we’ve become really close, obviously we’re going to have arguments and stuff, but it’s like an actual brotherly and sisterly relationship… Read more & comment »
