One of the sidekicks was Kate Winslet, according to Ed's link ... fancy. I thought I recognised Jacqueline Pearce's name from somewhere, too, though I didn't know where exactly, cheers for that.
I have watched My Parents; I thought it was quite clever, for a kids' show. Like Maid Marian And Her Merry Men, it works on multiple levels; there's toilet humour for the kids and a bit of social commentary for the grownups. Plus the characters seemed to be internally sound and well thought out rather than just cliches. The actors seemed to be quite competent too; in the one I saw the "dad" morphed into the boy's shape, and the boy's actor did a passable job of being the "dad". Unfortunately, though it was good, it didn't really grab me enough to make me want to watch it regularly. Plus I'm still at work when it's on these days...
