The families of seven teenagers with complex needs have just one week to find a new school after they were asked to leave Purbeck View School in Dorset following an “inadequate” rating by Ofsted.

Mum, Sarah London, whose son Harrison, is one of those being forced to leave, shares her fears he will end up in an emergency placement on the other side of the country at Christmas.

After 20 years of listening to her dulcet tones, Emma Tracey gets to meet her favourite TV audio describer - Georgina Rose, - who has worked on everything from kids TV shows to Naked Attraction.

Georgina explains the art of describing television programmes and reveals her fantasy of one day describing a particular scene in Indiana Jones.

And James Leadbitter, aka The Vacuum Cleaner, and two young people talk about their experiences of being inpatients at adolescent mental health units and making art there during the pandemic.

Producers: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey

Recording/mixing: Dave O'Neill
