What is Friday Night Dinner about?
Friday Night Dinner is about an eccentric family who gather for a meal together each Friday evening.
Written by Robert Popper, the family are middle class but very kooky.
It is inspired by Robert’s own upbringing in a secular Jewish family.
As they gather for their weekly Shabbat meal, the family’s eccentricities gradually come out.
Sons Adam and Jonny constantly play pranks on one another. While their parents odd neighbour Jim, often appears with his dog.
What happened to Paul Ritter?
Actor and star of Friday Night Dinner, Paul Ritter, died aged 54 on April 5, 2021.
He died of a brain tumour at his home in Kent surrounded by his family.
Paul played patriarch Martin in Friday Night Dinner.
Despite being gravely unwell at the time of filming of the show’s special, Paul still showed up.
His co-star, Tamsin Greig, said she tried to persuade him not to film.
But ultimately his appearance was a testament to his incredible work ethic, she said.
While speaking to Metro, Tamsin said: “We all miss him terribly, an incredible actor, a true friend and a lovely human being. Sadly at the time of making the documentary, Paul was pretty unwell and to be honest – and don’t tell the producers this – but I did try and persuade him not to do the interview.
“But it is testament to Paul’s courage and generosity and dignity and complete lack of vanity that he wanted to participate in the documentary, to do an interview, and to really celebrate this little world that he’s been a part of and that he’s enjoyed so much over the years.”
