Inspired by the Wolverhampton childhoods of Caitlin Moran and Caroline Moran, 'Raised by Wolves' follows six socially-isolated, home-schooled siblings and their acerbic, highly capable mother Della Garry. Eldest sibling Germaine, sixteen, is idiosyncratic, distressingly overshary and deludedly in love with local yob Lee. Aretha, fifteen, an introverted, sarcastic George Orwell admirer, just wants to be left alone to endure her adolescence. Thirteen-year-old Yoko is a dreamy aspiring paleontologist with a heavy dose of 'the Force'. Along with 'the babbies', Wyatt (six), Mariah (five) and toddler Cher, the family also share their small council house with Della's feckless, acid casualty dad, Grampy, a frequent refugee from his ongoing bad romance with 'Sh*t Nan'. In her frenzied pursuit of Lee, Germaine drags her family reluctantly out into the world, going underage clubbing, dabbling in voyeurism, taking the law into their own hands and dealing with major life milestones in their characteristic highly inappropriate way.
