All About Me, 2002
All About Me was Jasper Carrott’s second foray into the word of sitcom, his first being “The Detectives”.
The show ran 3 series over 22 episodes between 2002 and 2004.
The ‘me’ in the title refers to Raj, whose thoughts were heard in a voiceover.
Summary
The series revolves around a modern family living in the Midlands.
The family comprise: Colin Craddock, a white Brummie builder, his Asian wife Rupinder, Colin’s two sons from his first marriage, Peter and Leo, Rupinder’s half-sister Sima, daughter Kavita and son Raj, a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy.
