NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING DAMIAN LEWIS AND KELLY MACDONALD FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .

The Radleys is a tale of suburban unease. Life with the Radleys involves Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours, and a lot of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose.

When teenage daughter Clara is attacked on her way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation, and why they can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.
