About this listen

Meet the Parkers. Adrian and Helen and their children, Olivia and Charlie. A wonderfully middle-class family navigating a highly competitive world where perception is everything and neurosis is rife. From schools to dinner parties to doing their bit for the environment, join them on their journey as they do life in leafy suburbia whilst being constantly kept on their toes by their best friends and rival family, the Farmers.

I bought this to listen to on a train journey from Edinburgh to Lonon. Unfortunately, I had to stop listening after about half an hour as laughing out loud is frowned upon in the quiet coach. A series of highly entertaining musings on middle-class life - it's painfully accurate and very, very funny.

Laugh out loud funny. If you know you know. Glatman perfectly captures the joy and pain of middle class parenting. Put away the farrow & ball colour chart and leave the organic humous on the shelf. How many characters do you recognise? Brilliant!

Painfully hilarious and true to life

Really enjoyed this. I normally read thrillers but this gentle take down of middle class London is a really diverting listen. Like a lot of really good comedy they are seemingly very unlikeable characters, but you strangely feel yourself wanted them to be OK and even succeed over their rivals. You wont be able to listen to this without saying to yourself "that sounds just like my friend so-and-so...".

Would be a great TV comedy.
