Synopsis

Meet the Grunt family: Mr and Mrs Grunt, who are neither clean nor clever, and their adopted (actually, abducted) son, Sunny. They travel in a donkey-drawn caravan through a world that's a bit like now but not exactly. Sunny, with his mismatched ears and perpetually unruly hair, joins his peculiar parents in wildly improbable and hilarious adventures. From bendy railings to double-barrelled shotguns, full-fat yoghurt, and even a beard of bees, their escapades are as unpredictable as they are entertaining.
