My Millionaire Dads and Me (2016x67)

Date de diffusion: Août 29, 2016

Millionaires Tony and Barrie Drewitt-Barlow came to fame in 1999 as the first British gay fathers to pay surrogate mothers to have their own children. Pioneers, they became role models but also unwitting celebrities when they were forced to defend their decision in the face of a judgmental and hostile media. Sixteen years on their eldest children - twins Aspen and Saffron - are about to turn 16. In this documentary we find out what life is like for a teenager in this extraordinary family. In true Drewitt-Barlow style, they're planning an extravagant birthday party to celebrate the twins' 16th and some seriously expensive coming of age presents. The programme follows the whole family across a milestone year of defining social events, lavish gifts and GCSEs as they struggle to combine life as a 'normal' family with the demands of an insatiable media.
