Wednesday 12 June: Comic Relief today announces the launch of its new digital series, "Rewind," where celebrity supporters revisit the wonderful, wacky, and hilarious specials and sketches they helped create.

Kicking off the series are the beloved Brockman siblings from the hit BBC TV series Outnumbered. Twelve years after filming their last Comic Relief special, Daniel Roche, Ramona Marquez, and Tyger Drew-Honey—who played Ben, Karen, and Jake—come together to relive the moments that made them laugh and cringe.

Having been long-time supporters of Comic Relief, the on-screen siblings share their experiences of filming the Red Nose Day and Sport Relief specials, especially their interactions with famous stars including Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and football legend Frank Lampard, alongside Christine Lampard. As they rewatch the specials, they reveal behind-the-scenes secrets, including how the crew got the kids to behave and laugh on cue. Now adults, Daniel, Ramona, and Tyger reflect on their younger selves with humour and nostalgia, watching their own growth on screen.

The "Rewind" series is available on Comic Relief’s YouTube channel, where three long-form episodes featuring the Outnumbered siblings will be released, beginning with episode one on Sunday 16 June at 4pm.

Daniel Roche, who was the middle child Ben commented "The main memories I have from filming the Comic Relief specials are all the fun we had on set, joking around and working with celebrities like Andy Murray, Frank Lampard, and Christine Lampard. It was such an incredible experience, and they were all so funny! Being part of Comic Relief’s Rewind series has been amazing, giving us a chance to reminisce and laugh together over the content we filmed 12 years ago."

Ramona Marquez who played the iconic youngest child Karen, said, "I do sometimes watch 'Outnumbered' again. It's comforting to see it, even though I was in it! I like being able to watch us all grow up on screen, and I love being able to see Hugh and Claire; they were always joking around on set and creating such a relaxed and fun environment for us and the crew during filming."

Tyger Drew-Honey, who played eldest son Jake, said “Being a part of 'Outnumbered' was an amazing experience. It was such an iconic show that resonated with so many people because the Brockmans were the quintessential British family. Filming the Comic Relief specials was always a unique experience, where we would come together after months of filming. I remember being 10 years old and thinking, 'Wow, I get to be a part of something really special.'”
