This sparks a family conversation about how we become similar to the people around us. Mum, Dad, Tim, Daisy and Yim each describe four friends in their lives and what they have in common, from cooking, gardening and reading to football, golf, politics, anime and Lego. But Daisy realises her friends share one thing with her that might not be so good…
