This film took a look at life in three families that have bucked the trend for fewer children and have at least nine children each. Through observational style filming with the three families over one summer, Big Families examined the family dynamics in units this size in an entertaining fashion.

‘This is fascinating fly-on-the-wall stuff, even if you watch with a mixture of horror and disbelief.’

‘For the families featured, remarkably it seems to be virtual laughter all the way, and their laid back approach is extraordinary to witness.’
