The cast of Outnumbered have reunited for a Children in Need sketch that is set to be released later this week ahead of the show's long-awaited Christmas special.
The BBC sitcom followed parents Pete Brockman and Sue Brockman - played by Hugh Dennis, now 62, and Claire Skinner, now 59, respectively - who were outnumbered by their three children. Tyger Drew-Honey, now 28, played eldest child Jake Brockman, whilst Daniel Roche, now 25, and Ramona Marquez, now 23, played younger siblings Ben Brockman and Karen Brockman on the acclaimed show.
Outnumbered ran for five series from 2007 to 2016, and earlier this year it was announced that it will return after almost a decade for a festive special. The cast have also worked together on a segment for BBC Children in Need.
First look images from the segment show the five main cast members sat on a sofa together. They're each seen wearing yellow Children in Need t-shirts and Pudsey ears. Ramona, who plays the youngest of the three siblings, is seen holding a Pudsey teddy whilst posing behind her four co-stars.
A synopsis teases: "After 8 years, our favourite TV family reunites for a segment for BBC Children in Need ahead of their Christmas special. They are given an all-important task on the Night of TV…. What could possibly go wrong?"

The BBC previously shared that the new festive special will involve parents Sue and Pete attempting to celebrate gather their kids for a "traditional family Christmas". It teased about the plot: "In a moment of adversity, [they] gather all their offspring (including one grandchild) to try and celebrate a traditional family Christmas. But fate, neighbours, hyenas and bus replacement services get in their way."
Hugh said about the show's return: "I can't wait for the Brockmans to be back together again. Pete and Sue have downsized, the children are no longer children, but I'm sure family life will prove to be just as chaotic as ever." Whilst Claire said: "I'm really looking forward to being reunited with my TV family. Working on this wonderful BBC comedy doesn't feel like work and is one of the greatest joys for us all."
Following the news, cast members Tyger, Daniel and Ramona reunited at the National Television Awards (the NTAs) in September. They were among the award presenters at the O2 Arena in London and fans shared their surprise at the time over how "grown up" they look now.
