impending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/comedy\/outnumbered-christmas-special-2024-return-newsupdate\/\">Outnumbered Christmas 2024 special<\/a>, there\u2019s plenty to look forward to: the entire main cast are reprising their roles as the Brockman family, there\u2019s set to be some fittingly festive chaos and there\u2019s even a grandchild on the cards.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all rather exciting, but it also looks as though there\u2019s set to be a major change \u2013 the iconic Brockman family home is no more, according to a report in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/tv\/28259926\/outnumbered-christmas-special-bbc\/\">The Sun<\/a>, which claims the Wandsworth house won\u2019t be featuring in the new episode.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, no BBC filming crew have been spotted in the South West London neighbourhood, although it\u2019s worth noting that star Hugh Dennis said last week that filming doesn\u2019t begin until November, so it\u2019s not official just yet.<\/p>\n<p>When approached for comment by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/\">RadioTimes.com<\/a>, the BBC declined to comment.<\/p>\n<div
