Meet AJ, a 23 year old preparing for the arrival of his eighth child. Through remarkable access and insight, we discover a young man struggling to define his role as a father, haunted by his own childhood.
AJ and his ever growing family live on a sprawling council estate on the outskirts of Bristol: an area plagued by unemployment, drugs and anti-social behaviour. The family home is full of noise and conflict as seven children compete for space, but amid the chaos young lives are forming. Gradually, unexpected details reveal not only AJ's troubled past, but an uncertain future.

I thought this was a really touching documentary. It's true that this may not be the best environment for kids to grow up in, but AJ appears a well-meaning, genuinely sensitive person with a lot of love to give. It seems like fundamentally good people living in a hard time. I certainly don't agree with comments describing their lives as a 'backwards sexual hell'. I also don't see how there's 'incest in the works'. I think some people need to lay off the tabloids a little- it doesn't help!

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

That is sad. He is a real dad, despite he look like a chav. He is trying to do his best with stepchildren while going blind.
