Gary (Andrew Clover) ends up knee-deep
in trouble in My Almost Famous Family

Chaos reigns in the Swann household when Gary and Shalondra decide to spend some time alone together, as CBBC’s all-singing, all-dancing comedy-drama series continues.

Gary’s father, Terry – an ageing former rock star – becomes a rather unsuitable babysitter when he seems more concerned with reliving his rock star past and playing loud guitar than looking after his grandchildren. Unfortunately, Toyah needs to practise for her grade 8 cello exam and, to make matters worse, Aretha becomes distraught when Terry insists he joins the band to perform his old embarrassing hit from the Seventies.

Unaware of the issues at home, Gary and Shalondra have their own troubles to contend with when they maroon their camper van in a muddy field full of angry cows.

Gary is played by Andrew Clover, Shalondra by Rakie Ayola, Hadley by Angus Harrison, Aretha by Dominique Moore, Isaac by Matt Morgan, Martha by Rachel Bradley and Terry by Alan Ford.
