The Family is a British fly-on-the-wall documentary series that began airing 17 September 2008 on Channel 4. Each season follows a chosen family, consisting of parents and their children. The project aim was to gain a picture of everyday family life in the United Kingdom, as film-maker and director Jonathan Smith attempted to "condense four months of ordinary family life into eight films". The series is a revival of the original series of the same name that first aired in 1974.

But I Don't Have A Spoon is about the effect of low self-confidence and the consequences of trying to cheat looking after your mental health. Emet feels his voice & life are empty, not as important & interesting as all the other spoons. When visiting a university reunion, he sees his old friends, all of whom seem to be doing so well. Feeling the pressure of looking like a loser, Emet begins tweaking his stories to be a bit more interesting so he maybe he can finally have the admiration he's always wanted. A Masked Figure sits opposite him warning him that he's not the person he's saying he is, telling him he needs to eat his cereal and look after himself, but how can he eat without a spoon?
