The Pandit Family is the third episode of Series 2 of the British Supernanny show.

Sypnopsis[]

"A half Indian, half English family with four children - all under the age of seven – finds itself with an unusual problem… the kids are acting like adults before their time! Seven year old Jaimie can often be found slaving over a hot stove making dinners, ordering items off the internet which his parents don’t even know about, doing a paper round and generally behaving like a 16 year old. Meanwhile, his sister, six year old Jasmine, won’t go to bed unless her parents go first. How can Supernanny persuade these kids to be kids?" - supernanny.co.uk

Preservation Status[]

The Pandit Family is truly a lost episode. Aside from the image that appears on this wiki and some text-based sites that do confirm its inclusion in Supernanny's lineup, there is almost no trace of its existence. This episode was once available on several platforms such as HBO Max and DailyMotion. Sadly, both have removed the episode, marking this episode as lost.

The lack of information about the Pandits affects viewers so much to the point that people do not know what this episode is about. The very few available sources about this episode can't even agree on the cause of the kids' behavior: were they forced to grow up far earlier than necessary to take care of their siblings and parents like The Chapman Family, or were they simply spoiled like The Clause Family? Was the root cause of their behavior neglect like The Tsironis Family, or was it overbearing parents like The Gormley-Brickley Family?

Finally, it is impossible to determine viewers' opinions on this episode because it is lost. An appropriate method would be to find any source documenting viewers' opinions at the time of the episode's airing, but there is also no record of such. This episode's IMDb page gives it a 5.6/10 rating, which would place this episode as mediocre. However, that ranking is unrepresentative of viewers' opinions, especially considering the fact that only 6 people have ranked it. Ultimately, the Pandit Family is truly a lost episode, and fans may never truly understand what this episode was about.
