Happy Families (CBBC TV Series)
Happy Families is a children's television series made in the late 1980s based on the Happy Families series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.
Each tale is about a family of characters (typically father, mother, son and daughter, but this varies) which in turn is based on the Happy Families card game.
The cast played several different characters throughout the series with many recurring roles for the main cast including Milton Johns, Annette Badland and Elizabeth Estensen.
Happy Families ran for two series, 24 episodes in all, and was shown on Children's BBC in 1989 and 1990.

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or families:
“We are happy in our way of life.
It doesn’t make much sense to others. We sit about,
Read, and are restless.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
