Actor and Television Presenter Matthew Kelly, plus Esther Rantzen’s daughter, Rebecca Wilcox
Listen now
Description
Assisted dying has never been legal in the UK, but that could be about to change. Several proposals have been presented over the years, but none have passed into law. I’ve been talking to Dame Esther Rantzen’s daughter, Rebeca Wilcox. And Dame Esther answers some questions that Rebeca asked her mum, on my behalf. My celebrity guest this week was Mr Saturday Night for years, on Game for a Laugh, You Bet,  and the iconic Stars in Their Eyes. On stage,  he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in 2004 as Lennie in Of Mice and Men, and he’s played leading roles in several major productions. He’s Matthew Kelly. Also, this week, communication failures in the NHS when it comes to mislaid letters and joined-up thinking. Who’s in charge of the patient journey, and what needs to happen?
