Tragedy + time = comedy

Ben Law’s memoir is the basis for new TV series, The Family Law, which follows 14-year-old Ben over one particular summer when his parents separate.

We chat to Ben Law about The Family Law, which brings his larger-than-life mother, his big family and hot, sticky Queensland summer to the small screen.

The Family Law starts tomorrow night (Thursday 14 January) on SBS at 8.30pm, after a successful preview on Facebook over the weekend.
