  • Make Me Normal 49:01 Make Me Normal

    Make Me Normal meets four students at Spa School, one of Britain's largest state schools for autistic children. Filmed over several months, the teenagers reveal what it is like to grow up with a condition affecting more than 500,000 people in the UK. Moneer, 12, has a form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome. When he loses his mother to cancer, the teachers struggle to help him deal with his feelings and manage his violent behaviour. Roxanne, also 12, just wants to be a normal teenager, but her realisation that autism is for life is extremely painful. Roy, 18, is trying to make sense of the world during his last year at school, but what he really wants is a girlfriend. And Esther, also 18, has a special gift for explaining the autistic world.

  • Can't Read, Can't Write [Part 1] 24:12 Can't Read, Can't Write [Part 1]

    [Part 1] Can't Read, Can't Write is a shocking and moving series that reveals the hidden realities of Britain's adult literacy crisis. It follows on from the hugely successful RTS award-winning Lost for Words season, which addressed the problems of literacy in schools. In this first episode, award-winning teacher Phil Beadle (The Unteachables) takes on the task of teaching nine adults how to read and write. Each one of them spent over 10 years in the school system – and yet they failed to learn the most basic skills. The class includes a whole range of people who left school unable to read: a businessman, a plumber, a single mum and an unemployed 21-year-old.
