Keeping Mum is a British sitcom, written by Geoffrey Atherden and broadcast on BBC One for two series between 17 April 1997 and 16 June 1998. The show was based on the long-running ABC series Mother and Son, written by Atherden and a hit show in Australia between 1984 and 1994. Keeping Mum starred Stephanie Cole as the main character, Peggy Beare, Martin Ball and David Haig as her sons and Meera Syal as her daughter-in-law.
In his review for The Independent, Thomas Sutcliffe said that "Cole's performance is never just clownish", concluding his review by saying: "The result is a programme that is only intermittently funny, to be honest, but at least has larger ambitions for what popular comedy can do."
The entire series was released on DVD region 2 in 2007.
