Jay on TV, and why not?
On Friday, two women came from the BBC to interview me about how being in Foster Care has affected my education. They are doing a documentary for Teachers' TV, which you can get through Sky and Freeview (The free Digital Terrestrial TV Service in the UK). They interviewed me because I made it to university even though I am in care and have a visual impairment and Aspergers' Syndrome (See earlier post somewhere down the page). Anyhoo*, these women brought their cameras in case I wanted to be filmed that day, so I complied, and they interviewed me about being in care and my education. They then had me walk to Ferens building as if I were going to a lecture, and they filmed me doing that. I had to cross the road about three times while the camera angles were perfected, and I was aware that it was trying to rain. Afterwards, the camera woman had to go, and the woman who interviewed me stayed for a coffee and biscuits (My hosting duties were clear) and she washed up everyones pots (I didn't ask her to, she just did it) and dropped me off at Withernsea where I went to see my parents. It was a good morning. The program will be aired sometime in September. I will keep you posted, and will drop a link on this blog where you can see it online.
