None

Quotes:
- It's the scrapbook of a year in the life of this eccentric family and it sets out to enchant, not to depress
- "I couldn't have done it if Jacqui hadn't been so generous with her time. I went up to visit her and the kids. They were all so down to earth, I could feel as soon as I walked in that she's a great home-maker, and there are these other people, waifs and strays, that she adopts because she's a natural mother.

When you hear of her situation you think immediately of words like harassed and careworn, but Jacqui confounds every expectation. She's very sexy, unbelievably vivid and vital, very bright, very quick, has a great sense of humour and she's quirky. She's not a conformist and she's brought up her children with the message that it's alright to be you. She doesn't seek to change her children, but she does seek to change the world."
- "Curtis where is everyone!"
