You may have seen that Keir Starmer apologised for the forced adoption scandal of the 50s/60s/70s this week. I made an (award winning!) documentary about my own forced adoption and now, with perfect timing, it’s back on Radio 4. Have a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Very pleasingly, this has won a gold thing for best documentary at the New York Festivals awards, despite not being (but also being) a documentary. Hard to explain, just go listen. Co-worded with the excellent @anc1entmarinade.bsky.social and @jonholmes.bsky.social. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
