My weird and wonderful family
From Channel 4
Gay British millionaires Tony and Barrie Drewitt-Barlow hit the headlines when their two children, Saffron and Aspen, were born to a surrogate mother in the US, using donor eggs and the couple's sperm. The pair were accused by some of 'going against nature' and 'shopping for the ultimate gay accessory'.
Brother Orlando was born four years later, using a frozen embryo. No mother figure has been involved in the children's upbringing, and Barrie and Tony want to keep it that way.
A decade on from Saffron and Aspen's births, award-winning documentary filmmaker Daisy Asquith films the family over the course of a year, as Tony and Barrie try for more babies.
She charts Tony and Barrie's incredible, emotional journey and asks the older children what it's like growing up with two fathers ('Dad' and 'Daddy') and no mum, and how they feel about their new siblings.
