TMDB Synopsis: Season 6 aired 14th Nov 1996, 7 episodes, finished 20th Dec 1996, Christmas special 26th Dec 1996.

Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Wait, the provided synopsis for Season 6 is extremely sparse: "Series 6 of 2point4 Children first aired on 14th November 1996 with seven episodes finishing on 20th December 1996 with a Christmas special airing on 26th December 1996."
The general overview says: "They're just your average family. Stressed mum Bill, daft dad Ben, and two troublesome teens. Plus just a few crazy ideas, escapades and mis" and "Follows the lives of the Porters; a seemingly average family whose world is frequently turned upside-down, due to bad luck and bizarre occurrence."
Problem: I cannot reach 160-220 words using only the provided facts without inventing details. The prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I strictly follow the "omit rather than guess" rule, I cannot meet the word count requirement of 160-220 words because there isn't enough information.
Let's re-read the sources.
Series 6 aired Nov 14, 1996 to Dec 20, 1996.
