For some reason, we just really get a kick out of watching other families on our television screens, while we’re watching the screens with our own family.

With his bushy beard, his iconic stripy T-shirt, and his strong accent, Jim is not the kind of stay at home husband most of us would wish for. In fact, he used to spend every moment of his day sat in his favorite chair, with a remote control in his hands, switching between TV channels and barking cynicism at the rest of his family. Yet, that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a loving side deep, deep, deep down…
