The Radford family are a British family who first appeared in the 2012 Channel 4 documentary television programme 15 Kids and Counting, which featured several large British families.[1] This was followed by 16 Kids and Counting, exclusively about the Radfords, which aired after they welcomed another child. Subsequent annual or biennial updates focused on successive years with further pregnancies by the Radford matriarch, each increasing the count. Upon the programme 22 Kids and Counting, the format changed along with the couple's decision not to have more children of their own. 22 Kids and Counting started airing on 9 January 2023 on Channel 5[2][3] and became a multi-part, multi-season series under the same title, accompanied by a social media presence.
