9PM, BBC2 Actress Sally Phillips presents this thought-provoking documentary looking at the proposed new screening test for Down’s syndrome. Sally feels passionately that society’s attitude needs to change – her 11-year-old son, Ollie, has Down’s and, far from a burden or a tragedy, he is a huge source of joy in her life.
