The Freers and the Lewises

How do dads cope with a supersized family? In Bournemouth, Pete has 12 daughters and dreams of quality time with his wife, while Gary Freer has quit work to help care for his large brood. Pete Lewis's only son Charles has recently moved out, leaving this dad of 12 daughters the only male in a very pink-themed house. Mechanic Pete finds that getting his wife Tracey to stop focusing on their expanding family isn't easy. When disaster strikes over Christmas, Dad is needed more than ever. In Ramsgate, Kent, Gary Freer has given up his job as a long distance lorry driver to help his wife Kirsty care for their supersized brood. Two of the couple's nine children need extra care: 15-year-old Jordan has ADHD and is home-schooled, while seven-year-old Paul is in and out of hospital with a medical condition affecting his oesophagus. When Paul's operation is delayed until after Christmas, their son's health threatens to overshadow the festivities.

The Sullivans and the Salims

How do large families manage to discipline and educate their many offspring, while continuing to add to their numbers? In the Salim's Rochdale home, ex-teacher Mohammed wants to instil a love of education in his children. But with no routine, homework often done late at night and non-existent bedtimes, the kids rule the roost, while Mohammed tries to persuade his wife Noreen to have another baby. In Kent, the Sullivan family take a very different approach to discipline. Tanya and Mike home-school many of their 11 children and believe routine creates order. They want to protect their large brood from the negative aspects of society and dream of one day moving their supersized family to a remote part of Ireland.
