2. The Radfords and the Salims
How do Britain's biggest families make their finances stretch? The country's largest family under one roof - the Radfords - have 16 kids and have decided to get 11 of them christened. But, with money tight, christening outfits and a cake stretch the budget. Parents Sue and Noel have become exhausted, so they decide to have their first date night out in 20 years, in spite of the cost. In Rotherham, there's never a dull moment with the Salim family. Mohammed and Noreen Salim have 11 kids and their house is always busy. In this episode, they decide to have a big party for their Eid celebrations. Because they're bursting out of their four-bedroom terrace home but can't afford a bigger one, Mohammed, Noreen and the kids have a much-needed clear-out.
