Richard Herring's comedy about four generations of a family. Starring Alison Steadman, Phil Davies and Richard Herring. Relativity is a witty and loving portrait of family life, with affectionate observation of inter generational misunderstanding, sibling sparring and the ties that bind, that will resonate with anyone who has ever argued with their dad about how to pronounce crisp brand names. In this opening episode, Ian brings home new girlfriend Chloe. His mum Margaret desperately hopes she is the one, while dad Ken can't wait to try out his shampoo joke – again! Sister Jane, brother-in-law Pete and their three teen children try to get to the bottom of just what the attractive, intelligent, witty 30-something Chloe sees in serial-dater and under-employed 40-plus actor, Ian.
