This Only Human documentary explores the lives of Britain's biggest family and how they cope with their chaotic and unique lives. Sue and Noel Radford have 16 kids already and they aren't stopping there. The couple were both given up for adoption at birth and due to their neglected childhoods wanted a big family. Sue first fell pregnant with Chris at just 14 in 1989 and was determined to keep the baby. She married Noel four years later - and they were soon expecting their second child Sophie. From then onwards she gave birth to a new child every year for over a decade. But as they try for number 17 there are complications and the family is faced with some life-changing news.

Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.

    I just looked this family up and they've since had more children. (Wasn't surprised as this video seemed old) but as of Jan 19, 2022 they have 22 children and 12 grandchildren
  • @VeronicaMLowry
    As much as I think it’s too many- they all seem very happy and well adjusted! And the parents seem very able to both emotionally handle the craziness and are physically dedicated to doing the work that’s necessary. It’s not for me but they seem to be doing well! Grandpa made me laugh 😂
  • @modelgurl69
    these people have over 20 kids but they're like so kind and just happy. Good for them.
  • @lloyd081877
    I just discovered their YouTube channel. It is called The Radford Family. Haven't watched any videos yet but I'm about to give it a watch. This family comes across as so genuine.
  • @backthebusup
    Your family is beautiful! It’s refreshing to see everyone chipping in and helping! Congratulations on your 16th child and first grandchild!
  • @lindasmart7375
    These parents are impressive to say the least. I can barely keep my house clean with just 3.
  • @junederksen9205
    I only had 2…and adopted 2…but this is beautiful!!! If this wasn’t a family filled with love it would be a different story but this family is amazing!
  • @vicki9777
    Oh my gosh your Dad😢I’m glad they shared this
  • watching in 2024. Lovely to see the “older generation” kids versus the now 5 youngest that weren’t here then. Big difference but still great kids, behaved, unspoiled.
  • @dopeymark
    Anyone who irons their kid's t-shirts is a lunatic.
  • I came from a family of 6.... those older kids will be out the door asap!
  • The parents act like they don't have any alone time or time to themselves but obviously they do...
  • @notmebutyou8350
    To each his own, but, ummmm, I don't think having kids is what they're addicted to........
  • @snowkracker
    It’s crazy that the mom does all the laundry herself. When I was in 4th grade I remember is when my sister and I started doing the dishes every other night. We’d also help our mother hang clothes on the line. Then take them down and fold them. Rake the yard and all kinds of other work around the house as well as school work. Kids seem to have it easy these days.

    Would love to hear a professional's views on this type of family and the damage this lifestyle does (or does not?) do to the children.
  • @mslaurahamilton
    They seem sweet, loving, happy, and well adjusted. More power to them. I struggle with two.
  • Looking after all these children is a lot of work for the grandparents; Hopefully they are both in good health. My mother loved all five of her grandchildren, but she would only allow one at a time to stay with her.
