Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

The Harry Potter stuntman on his life-changing accident


Listen Later

Harry Potter stuntman, David Holmes, opens up about his life-changing accident when he dislocated his spinal cord on the set of The Deathly Hallows Part 1, leading to paralysis. He also talks about his firm friendship with Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

There’s a lot going on at the heart of government – and that’s not including the government shuffle. The BBC has uncovered potential benefit changes for
people who are unable to work due to health conditions. Social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan, who got the scoop, fills us in.
And Mental Health Act reforms failed to be included in the King’s Speech at the Opening of Parliament which sets out the government’s priorities. What does that mean for the 40-year-old Act widely thought to need an update? Olly Parker from the charity Young Minds breaks it down for us.
Presented by Emma Tracey and Nikki Fox. Recorded and mixed by Dave O’Neill.
Producers are Beth Rose, Emma Tracey and Alex Collins.
The editor is Damon Rose. Senior editor, Sam Bonham.
