Episode 82: Sally Phillips Special

19/9/2016

IT'S SALLY PHILLIPS! She tells us all about her new documentary, the new Bridget Jones film, and why sperm is one of Denmark's biggest exports.

There's some serious talk about Sally's experience of having a child with Down's Syndrome, and why she wants to start a conversation about screening.

Then we move on to Career Chat - Sally discusses Smack the Pony, Veep, and reveals what Colin Firth is really like. The Scummy Mummies workshop their new gameshow idea, Anything For Money, and we discover how much you'd have to pay Ellie to snog Nigel Farage.

Sorry about the drilling early on - it does stop after a minute or two, promise!

Here are the websites Sally mentions:

Future of Down's
Downside Up
Lose the Label

Her documentary is on BBC2 on Wednesday 5 October.

Hi Mummies! Listened to episode 82 with Sally Phillips. Thank you this episode was enlightening and shocking to be honest. I'd always assumed there was a limit to termination and didn't realise that for something like down syndrome the law allows termination up to term. I shared your post on facebook and didn't receive a great response back from a doctor friend. She seemed annoyed and said "You would be extremely hard pushed to get someone to do this!! " I told a few other friends and they were also shocked and said it made them sad. So thank you for enlightening us and I think it is right to start the conversation. I will definitely be watching the documentary! Love the Show! And really enjoying Go 8 Bit! Rach x
