Dustbin Baby
As Family week beckons on The Teens' Speech, Dustbin Baby, a BBC family drama about a child abandoned at birth, picks up an International Emmy Award for children and young people's programming.
Incidentally, the film also features a performance by Lizzy Clarke, a teenage girl with Asperger's. Lizzy's mother, Nicola Clark has said that employing actors who are not mentally disabled to play characters with disabilities should stop, calling it the "blacking up of the 21st century".
