The Brittas Children
Gordon and Helen have many children; but the number of them is a mystery. In "Laying The Foundations", 3 boys are seen playing cricket in the back garden, although one is later revealed to be from next door. It is mentioned that they have 3 boys, but only Helen's from a previous relationship. The youngest of these boys is called "Tom", and the eldest is called "Jonathan", who provides Helen with drugs.
In series 5, Helen believes she is pregnant again, although this is proved false.
At the end of series 2, Helen discovers she is pregnant with twins, and at the end of series 3, she gives birth to two boys, of Whitbury High Street. In "The Christening", it is revealed those boys were named "Mark" and "Matthew".
In series 5, however, Helen mentions they have six children. In "The Curse Of The Tiger Woman", Gordon corrects Helen by stating that they have 4 children and not 3, and in series 4, Helen mentions they have got 4 children.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
