Friday Night Dinner

Robert Popper created Friday Night Dinner, which remains a cornerstone of modern British comedy, distilling the awkward rituals of family life into six seasons of glorious chaos. Its cultural footprint is defined by its relentless commitment to farce and catchphrases that have entered the national lexicon. The series excelled by grounding its absurdity in the recognizable friction of the Goodman household. Beyond the physical comedy, the show solidified its status through the late Paul Ritter and his iconic portrayal of Martin, whose eccentricities became the heart of the program. While the Goodman brothers have finally left the table, the enduring popularity of the show on streaming platforms ensures its place in the sitcom hall of fame.
