The new boy on Sex Education and the magician with OCD

from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds

Actor George Robinson reveals what it's like to play Isaac, the first disabled character in Netflix's Sex Education.George became tetraplegic just a few years ago when he broke his neck in a school rugby tackle gone-wrong. The question is, did he watch the show - full of teenage sex, angst and mishaps - with his parents?Professional magician Fergus Flanagan first got into tricks when he was 10-years-old - about the same time he realised he was different to everyone else. He'd started to experience intrusive thoughts relating to hitting or kicking disabled people - something he never acted on and has since gone away.But it would be another 10 years before he told anyone about it and it was given a name - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - something he's now created a magic show around.Presented by Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty. A full transcript will be available here soon.Subscribe to Ouch on BBC Sounds or say "Ask the BBC for Ouch" to your smart speaker.
