Anyone watching? How lovely that they're all so close and the family are still 'together' , It was amazing but ........it can't have been easy - the stresses on the family must have been huge. They've done a good job by the look of it.

It was very moving,the guy featured was so ..what's the word..determined,lucid etc.Terry Pratchett was I think not so convinced .I've read loads of his books.He's stated he wants to die before his mind is gone.
Haven't watched it yet. Got it on my sky plus.. I will watch it soon. 
I watched it on itv+1. I've don't think I've seen any of the previous documentires on the family, I remember when they were born, and seeing newspaper clips on them from time to time.
I had a shock when it said they were 27 
I was thinking they must be about 15 these day.
What a lovely family, and a great insight into their family life.

They were born the same year as my daughter so I've always been aware of their age. She watched some of it last night and range me saying 'they seem so young' - I told her - 'you seem much younger' 
- we don't really see our own babies growing up do we?
Darn itv player doesn't let you view on your phone, I'll have to catch up from home 
Hi rzb 
I didn't realize they're 27! Wow!

it's true we don't. My youngest in the last 5 months seems to have shot out and changed appearance completely, not that we've noticed it , Everyone around us seems to be commenting. I think our children seems age less to us,

Hi Sweet, it's well worth watching, I was channel hopping last night when I came across it,
It's a real feel good programme,
Missed it, but I bet any boyfriends they've had need to be brave men.
FIVE sisters, all sitting on the sofa with their arms folded, scrutinising every poor bloke 
Aww Soozy I watched it and thought the same - what a lovely close family they are! I've always watched programmes on them but can't believe they are 27 as I remember a programme when they were 18 and I swear it was only 2 or 3 years ago! 
The Mum and Dad are brilliant and I particularly like the Dad - he just loves his girls and doesn't like them leaving home

one of the sisters has now set up home with a B/F.....she was convinced it was one of the other sister he first fancied, he wasn't too sure either.
