Friday Night Dinner: Why food fights and mayhem have become a TV treat

Channel 4

As the title suggests, the set-up is in theory benign, cosy even. A secular Jewish household - mum, dad and their two grown-up sons - come together each week in the family home to mark the start of the Sabbath.Mayhem ensues within minutes of the brothers stepping through the front door. It starts with their compulsive pranking of each other. But as the evening goes on, a series of random surreal events leads to family meltdown - and dinner ruined.

"I decided I wanted to do a show about a family and the feeling you get that when you go home you revert to being kids again," he says. "But the intensity of the Goodmans and how they are very argumentative and everyone knows everyone's business - that's all very recognisably Jewish."Those Goodmans are Tamsin Greig, as mum Jackie, Paul Ritter is dad Martin, elder son Adam is Simon Bird, with Tom Rosenthal as his sibling Jonny.

As Bird and Rosenthal jostle somewhat on the sofa you might assume they had adopted their own pattern of brotherly rivalry in real life. Though the essential ingredients of the show haven't altered, the extremes to which the farce goes has been ramped up over the years.
