Holding the Baby (1997–1998) watch online

Holding the Baby is a 1997 British sitcom television series produced by Granada Television that aired on ITV. It lasted for two series between 24 January 1997 and 13 August 1998. The series focusses on Gordon Muir, whose wife leaves him for a younger man, and he's left to raise his baby son Daniel single handedly, whilst trying to balance his career. He is helped and hindered by his loutish brother Rob who later moves in, which makes his life harder to manage; whilst he faces constant advice by his intrusive neighbour Laura.

The series' average audience in 1997 was 6.85 million viewers, making it the 16th-highest rated British sitcom that year.

Nick Hancock left after Series 1, and was replaced by Hugh Bonneville in Series 2. Due to low audience ratings, the series was pulled from transmission halfway through the 2nd series. Two more episodes were shown in August 1998, before the series was subsequently cancelled. Another two episodes were additionally produced, but remain unbroadcast.

It was later remade in the United States for Fox Television in 1998; the U.S. version lasted only one season.
