This week Francesca is joined by Katinka Blackford Newman, she is an award-winning documentary film director and writer with countless hours of high-end broadcast TV to her name. She has worked in television for over 25 years and has made films for major international broadcasters and streamers including Discovery, National Geographic, HBO Max, BBC TV, ITV, and Channel 4.

In 2016 she applied her investigative and story-telling skills to writing a best-selling book. ‘The Pill That Steals Lives’ (John Blake Publishing), is a personal memoir and investigation based on her own experience. In 2012 an adverse reaction to a prescription drug led to a year long illness that nearly caused her to lose her life. Her subsequent research uncovered she was not alone and her book was made into a 1-hour special Panorama investigation. Subsequently, she has become an advocate for awareness of the risks of prescription drugs. She has written widely for national newspapers on this subject and has been interviewed on TV and radio around the world.

**TRIGGER WARNING** Katinka discusses suicide.
