In \u003cem\u003eMr Large In Charge\u003c\/em\u003e, Dad takes the reins while Mum is unwell, and his good intentions quickly spiral into good-natured domestic disorder. \u003cem\u003eFive Minutes' Peace\u003c\/em\u003e, perhaps the most loved title in the series, sees Mrs Large attempt a solitary soak in the bath, interrupted one by one by her determined children. Finally, \u003cem\u003eAll in One Piece\u003c\/em\u003e follows the frantic scramble to get the whole family dressed and out of the door for a dinner-dance, with predictably hilarious results.
