}}Home from Home is a BBC sitcom set in the Lake District, England.[1] The Hackett family buy a wooden lodge on a park site and immediately father Neil is trying to outdo the better off neighbours. The sitcom began as a pilot episode, part of the BBC Two's New on Two series featuring potential sitcom ideas. A full series was commissioned in December 2016, and debuted on BBC One in April 2018.[2]

Synopsis

Home from Home revolves around the class divide between the Hackett family and the Dillons.[3] The Hacketts, after saving for years to be able to afford a lodge holiday home in the Lake District, find that other second home owners are not quite on the same level as them. Their most immediate neighbours, the Dillons, have the most upmarket lodge on the site,[4] having downgraded from their villa in Ibiza.[5] A class-war emerges between the Dillons and the Hacketts, particularly between Penny and Neil: she describes the family as "The Stoke Massive".[6] Robert and Fiona, on the other hand, get on well and the Hackett's eldest son is clearly in love with the Dillons' adopted daughter, Petra.

Neil's revelation that his one true love when he was 12-years old was Mandy Rowlands, upsets Fiona. Neil organises a hot air balloon trip for Penny and Robert, but a mix-up means Fiona and Neil have to go too. Whilst airborne on the balloon trip, they all witness Fieldhouse on bended knee proposing to Mercy, but in reality he was just trying to tie a shoelace. Petra returns and makes-up with Garth and asks him to help her tear down the for sale signs as they [the Dillons] are going nowhere.[15]LineColor = 333333

Critical reception

Gabriel Tate, writing in The Telegraph, gave the sitcom three stars out of five and whilst acknowledging that the sitcom had many traits in common with other "over the garden-fence sitcoms" it was "fundamentally good-natured, resolutely unambitious and a lively addition to a crowded field."[16]
