Episode summary by Singapore TV

Big Day Out Big Day Out Big Day Out Big Day Out Big Day Out

Starring: Gurmit Singh, Vernetta Lopez, Marcus Chin, Jade Seah, Desiree Siahaan, Kumar, Phin Wong, Nicholas Lee, Zachary Mosalle and Suhaimi Yusof.

The Toh family is the textbook definition of the word dysfunctional. A disconnected and chauvinistic father, Richard Toh (played by Gurmit Singh), a self-involved and distant mother, Jenny Toh (played by Vernetta Lopez), a cranky and unpredictable grandfather, Ah Kong (played by Marcus Chin), and three daughters – the image conscious Robin Toh (age 14), the rugged and violent Bobbi Toh (age 12) and the youngest, Ashley Toh (age 6), who has grown so close to the maid she'll only speak Tagalog.

When Jenny decides it's time for them to start behaving like a real family, they grudgingly head to Sentosa for a big day out. But their quirks, coupled with the zany characters they meet on the island, turn things from bad to disastrous.

With a supporting cast of Jade Seah, Desiree Siahaan, Kumar, Phin Wong, Nicholas Lee, Zachary Mosalle and Suhaimi Yusof, "Big Day Out" tells the comedic tale of joy, sorrow and the unconditional love of family members to stick together when it matters most.

"A comedy for anyone who’s ever tried to love their family. Or kill them."
