- 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
That's crazy!
@@redbouquetaida1598 right?? In the article I read it said the father had a vasectomy at one point but had it reversed at baby number NINE so they could have more 🤯
I don't get it. To each their own I guess.
They have a TH-cam channel, very nice family
JUST AWESOME ❣️
OxOxO
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It is a lot, but its pretty clear from their youtube Chanel that they love them, their taken care of and that they have enough money to support them. I belive in another one of these episodes they said that they've never taken any benefits. Pretty cool tbh
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 😂
I just discovered their TH-cam 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.
They are a kind loving family ❤️
Your family is beautiful! It’s refreshing to see everyone chipping in and helping! Congratulations on your 16th child and first grandchild!
Chipping in they become little worker bees they didn’t ask for that it’s sad!!!
This is a very old video. The 16th baby is 11 now, I think
These parents are impressive to say the least. I can barely keep my house clean with just 3.
Same here!!! Haha
They most likely have the big one's take care of the little ones and the house. Every big family I've seen does it. It's crazy!
@@jessicasparkles1619 I’m one of two and I had to take care of the house. It’s not a crime for children to clean up after themselves and pitch in on household chores. Pitying the children having to lift a finger at home to clean is why we have an entire generation of kids that don’t know basic household maintenance and upkeep.
My darling, 3 is not "just" 😓 i have 2 and im stretched to my limit. Its difficult no matter what. Definately not having any more. Unless I adopt a school age child....🤷🏽♀️ I'm scared for this couple and I really hope they can give each child a solid education up till college.....
@@AtimTimLives their kids are all doing really well in life. Intelligent hardworking happy people.
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!
these people have over 20 kids but they're like so kind and just happy. Good for them.
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.
Oh my gosh your Dad😢I’m glad they shared this
This parents are very selfishness irresponsible. They don't love children they just love the feeling having babies.
Ry Rf: They are probably getting paid for this doco , and other media interviews this must make them both happy ! They are on film for this video, so no losing tempers or swearing ! What a crazy life!
do you know them personally?
To each his own, but, ummmm, I don't think having kids is what they're addicted to........
Me, watching this family of 15 in 2024 and realizing that they had 7 more kids... and I am the last of a "big" family of 7 children.
Anyone who irons their kid's t-shirts is a lunatic.
The fact that she irons at all with 16 kids is insane. I have one child and I don't even iron.
rude to say
Children get neglected when there are too many; parents use the oldest ones as parents for the little ones….to me this represents a mental health issue that needs to be addressed with the parents.
None of these kids our neglected and are not forced to watch there younger siblings as this show portrays
@@ashlynbonini3710 riiight their lives are just like what the show portrays….
@@karidish love how your just assuming 😍 look them up on TH-cam
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.
It depends on who the parents are cause this shows a positive side unlike the other family 19&counting the duggars to be exact
I worked in social services and my dad is #3 of 21 children. I can confidently say that it comes down to how healthy their attachment develops. When asked about whether or not they felt neglected, my aunts said the love only grew, it didn't divide.
There weren't any luxuries such as vacations and farmwork was mandatory, but they talk about their upbringing like they won the jackpot.
Contrast that with well-off, small, cold families.
@@blackswan1983 I agree with this. My ‘step’ grandma had like 14 kids/pregnancies and between miscarriages and a childhood death, she ended up with 8 living. All of them lived in a one room house/shake. They are still very close in their 50-60s and have family reunions every year and there’s always multiple some ones to lean on in times of crisis. My other grandparents had 1-3 kids each and the bonds/attachment between parent and child and between siblings is miserable compared to the big family. I’m one of two kids and I’m not close to my mother or my sister at all. I’ve had 6 kids and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I’d have 10 of it weren’t for the way the world is right now.
These kids are being born to satisfy some underlying issue the parents have, there’s no way all these kids could have their emotional needs met.
Truth be said: There's no way parents can give total psychological attention to all of their kids. Dad doesn't even remember everyone's birthdays, so I wonder how many kids might feel displaced by that? As if it were an easy task to raise children and give them proper support and equal treatment. It's visible that there are kids who feel bugged that there are babies still popping out. I wonder also how many fights those kids pick, that's really saddening, children aren't toys to be part of a collection to an egoistic parent but humans living through their own eyes and in their own universe (mind).
The words Collections; It's a bit like hoarding, only their addiction is collection children as possessions. Sad really.
My father-in-law has three kids who he loves a lot but struggles to remember their Birthdays. Everyone is different.
I've known more parents with 1, 2, 3 kids who give them very little if any attention. Too busy on phones, laptops or game consoles. I heard of a new born baby who starved to death because both parents were playing online games and forgot about time and baby. These guys are absolutely wonderful parents and much more
Good points
all these negative comments😭
The grandparents can’t wait until she come home from the hospital. They are literally counting the seconds down.
Literally an AWESOME story❣️
OxOxO
I came from a family of 6.... those older kids will be out the door asap!
This is old they've got a few more, 22
WHAT?
Insane
How is her body not breaking down?
WOW! Crazy!!! God bless them
The parents act like they don't have any alone time or time to themselves but obviously they do...
They must have some alone-time, otherwise they would not have so many children.
How can people be so hateful in the comments. They have a clean, happy, and healthy home. As well as trips and vacations to friggin FRANCE!
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.
I was only 1 of 2 kids and I started doing my laundry when I was in kindergarten. That was the 90s though before locking lids or safety containers for detergent. It’s amazing this mom does all the laundry her self
We're a family of two kids, and we had to set the table, which graduated to clearing the dishes, then helping do the dishes, the doing the dishes & other chores. We had to help with laundry - you wear the clothes, you help with the laundry 🤷♀️
They seem sweet, loving, happy, and well adjusted. More power to them. I struggle with two.
You know they lack common sense not because they have 16 kids, but because they truly thought bureaucrats would be efficient and get their passports back on time. *shaking head*
Sorry but I think it’s very egotistical for Noel to say that when sues parents found out sue was pregnant at 13 “they were a bit niffed” he makes it sound like it wasn’t a big deal. She was 13 he was 17 that’s wrong on so many levels. And these people are being put up on a pedestal, even now with their tv series. 😮
Wonderful parents.
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.
Why all that ironing? Just folding is enough
So sweet when mum and kids were doing handstands to get their babies to turn.😄
That seems like an insane hazard having to take the door knobs off. Sheesh and all those kids yet no one helps with housework.
I love children, especially babies and toddlers. I was a preschool teacher for many years before I became disabled. I was blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and 2 bonus daughters from my husbands first marriage. Me and my husband both worked full time to provide for our girls. I would have loved to have more then the 4 girls but we knew we couldn’t afford more and it would have been irresponsible to have more babies when couldn’t provide the life I would want to give them. Our kids took piano and guitar lessons, they played the cello, played soccer, did gymnastics and dance and took karate. So they did do extra things, and when I was a kid I was dressed in hand me downs and goodwills clothes, I was teased endlessly about my clothes and didn’t want that for my girls. I have the patience to raise lots and lots of babies but I didn’t have the pocket book to back it up so we stopped. In hindsight I’m glad I did because the kids didn’t have to compete for my attention too much and I was able to focus on them individually several times throughout the day. They had a better quality of life because we stopped
Milie has 2 kids of her own now 🥰
I mean, to each their own. They are a huge, happy family that has figured out to thrive together ❤
no, the kids were born into this, so saying to each their own is not a good way of seeing it
Parentification is bound to be an issue, along with a certain amount of neglect. Children need individual attention. I don't want to sound too negative, honestly. They seem well adjusted and happy, and I feel the parents are loving caretakers. There are simply negative elements that are often inevitable in these situations.
And one child can become a social awkward spoiled brat. There's no magic number if they seem well adjusted and happy as you said that's better than most IMO, so brave to the parents.
I have to agree with you. How can the kids possibly get that one-on-one time that is so precious with each child. There's no doubt of the love and care but it was a balancing act to give each of my 3 (now grown) kids alone time with me. A lot of times, when there are this many kids, the older kids are tasked with taking care of the younger ones and I believe kids should be allowed to be kids without that kind of responsibility. It can breed bitterness that may come flooding out when the kids are adults.
Not to mention the sheer cost of raising children! Insanity!
The Radford’s both were adopted and very much affected by having been given up by their birth mothers despite being lived by their adoptive families. This is what drives their need to having all of these children. They never hit I er their own birth parents abandoning them
He was very explicit when he said being adopted wasn't the driving force behind having so many kids. He knows his own, and his wife's, mind. There are plenty of people out there, who were not adopted but go on to have lots of kids. I've seen families with 30+ kids.

I love children and being pregnant and having babies. I’m the middle of 17 and my husband is also the middle of 17. We met in grammar school and went to the same places like the beach, played ball in the street and did a lot of other things with my and his sisters and brothers. One of my brothers married one of his sisters. We now have such a large family with a few adopted kids in there. No one is out of sorts for being adopted. There are some children that should’ve been placed for adoption as their parents were not mature enough, couldn’t afford them etc. the Radfords are very much in love, love their children, can afford their family and are VERY happy ❤ If they want more children I think that’s great. They are very blessed ❤
My daddy was 2 weeks older than his Aunt on his Momma side. Grandma had my daddy then went to her Momma to help her with her sister.
Figured there was something deeper. Apparently both of the parents were adopted, rather than being with their biological parents. Not surprising that they’d bond over that trauma. Here’s hoping that they get therapy.
Kids are old enough to do the house work
Wow
How they can feed all of them???
💓
Do they not have free breakfast and lunch programs in the schools there?
Overpopulation is a problem around the world. Responsible breeding for the sake of the collective, our future, our resources and our planet really must be considered.
There is no such thing as overpopulation... The world was made perfectly to fit human needs.
@@toasted4274 sure Einstein
As far as overpopulation is considered people have aborted thousands if not millions of innocent babies. And you are worry about Overpopulation ?! Give me a break . Death also happens each year .
God created this earth to support human population
"breeding"
and who decides who should breed or now ?
no way! I tip my hat to the parents
I feel bad for the kids, the parents are to busy making kids and not caring about the kids they already have...
We are living in the 21 century. There is such a thing as reliable contraception.
But the kids are well taken care off 🤷🏻♀️ so whats the issue
Update: They have 22 Children and 3 grandbabies. The older 2 have moved out.
REAL Update: They have 22 children and 12 grandchildren!!!
Omg. Think about if every kid had sixteen kids! That would be crazy! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
What do the parents do for a living?!? I only have three and my husband and I are tight financially. And we are both professionals!!!
This lady is awesome. I only pray I can meet a woman so mind-blowingly dedicated.
This lady is a freak.
How? almost a year ago i watched them, they had 21 kids! what happen now? someone explain
This video is old
I don't know how they do it. I have 3 kids and that's enough for me.
They all seem happy and well taken care of. As long as the older kids don't have the responsibility of raising their younger siblings I am okay with it.
They do....they don't show it in this video, but in others they do.
The niece was born before the uncle.
I can’t even deal with taking a road trip an hour away where do they find the time and money for all of this??
They seem happy with capable parents. Since they are raising them with their own money, it's okay. My issue is with people with many kids they can't afford to care for but expect taxpayers to foot all the bills.
The taxpayers of England DO pay for this family.....they get benefits every week.
This is an old version.
So 37 and a grandma... I'm 34 and no kids because we can't afford it....
What does the husband do for work? Dying to know
It says it in the video if you paid attention.....................they own a bakery.
No time for bedtime stories.
Mini kindergarten 😄
At least they not on the dole,they are taking care of their kids ❤️
They are though.......
That does look fun but I cannot do it. I want at least 4 kids maybe 5 lol
I live alone and if someone told me I had to iron my own T-shirts everyday I would literally have a toddler like tantrum.
Your so blessed.....I wished i had 10.....I love Children.......I only have 4 Chimdeen. I made a huge mistake and got a tubal ligation. I can get a reversal done but its ,$4,000.00 to have a tubal reversal
I have a real question. What is the child credit or benefits they get each week? From who?
wow lot kids but they r cute healthy looking kids
I'd feel neglected if I were born in the middle of this family....mum and dad would NEVER have quality time with you cause they'd have to work constantly! Then the older children become parents of their siblings it's selfish of the parents 🙄 😒
The world hasn't even ended yet and already they're trying to repopulate the planet LOL 😆😆😆
I'd like to know what he does for a living or if they are getting Government help. 🤔
They own a successful bakery
I do want to have 2 kids boy and girl
I mean, it's their family, their choice. That said, even if they're financially able to support all those kids without govt assistance, I'm concerned that none of those kids are able to get the individual attention that any child needs. Also, there's the parentification of the older kids that have to care for the younger ones.
Does this mean she was 14 when she fell pregnant to a 17 year old??
Yup!
Correct
That woman has earned a mommy makeover.. when she hits menopause..
The more, the merrier ;)
Why the creepy wink?
@@leerush6978 Right. 🤔
@@SpicyGelato98 perhaps he's insinuating that the parents are too fond of children...🤷♂️
Literary my greatest nightmare .. 🙊
Bruh wtf my grandma had 9 daughters and 3 boys
Waging each other in dirty water
It doesn't leave much of a cushion if a kid gets injured or diagnosed with with a health condition or even a learning disability or disciplinary issue . Somethings got to give eventually that will require a lot of money and extra attention for a family that's stretched so thin .At least some of her older kids kids seem to pick up the slack and take care of the yunguns !
Gross. You’re lucky none seem to have major problems, yet…in my observation it’s unusual to have so many and none with ailments or problems of some kind
I agree. They already have had issues as their 17th was born stillborn. Heartbreaking what the parents are putting these children through for their own selfish reasons.
Especially as she gets older
@@tristinwilson9437 I’m not even trying to put them down or sound judgmental my father is 1 of 10 and I just personally don’t think it’s a good idea I mean the kids seem pretty well behaved at least I just don’t see how you can be on the welfare and have so many and go on fancy trips and make each child feel special and attend to their individual needs properly but clearly they do I just couldn’t personally agree w it
They’re so lucky, getting to eat at least 16 cakes (birthday) a year
I was thinking the same thing!!
Se todas pessoas do mundo tivessem esse tanto de filhos os recursos da natureza se acabariam rapidamente.
I want another Baby
👍
That genetic pool looks like it's sterling to repeat.
Hello everyone. What's your favourite movie and do you love Ellen G. White?
They do get money I knew it from the government. 170. Each kid. They are not doing this all on their own
The mother is nurs
WHERE DO HE WORK AT IS HE A MILLIONAIRE?
Did you pay attention at all???? They own a bakery you idiot.
Babies having babies. So sad!
she's what you call a professional breeder...smh
Why are the daughters getting pregnant. Ridiculous
Thats ridiculous
talk about emotional neglect
This has no honor, you have made 22 slaves and laborers for the rich people.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬
Better than abortion .
And they buy dodas
Why is all I’m gonna say?? Why?
That is so grosse.
Gross, just gross.
