In these difficult economic times, Kiruna wonders whether this might be the right moment to put some long-held politics aside and agree to playing the part of a restricted growth stereotype.
magazine editor Ian Macrae joins Jono Lancaster [Love Me, Love My Face and So What If My Baby Is Born Like Me] and [Beyond Boundaries and Britain's Missing Top Model] for a passionate debate on what's good and what's not so good about taking part in disability documentaries.
Presenting a six piece indie, jazz, folk ensemble with added wind instruments and Asperger's Syndrome. Brothers and founder members Miles and Jon Peckover join Rob and Kiruna in the studio for quick fire questions and some uncanny Simpsons impressions.

Off air: I spent some time in the café with the Captain Angelo boys and can report that they are as chatty in real life as they are in front of a microphone. Listen out for Jon's ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖr impression. It's unbelievably accurate.
As you'll hear, the disability documentary discussion gets quite heated and everyone involved had a very strong point to make. I won't lie to you, there were some tense moments in the control room. But the very silly quiz in the middle even had the studio managers laughing.
Don't keep the Ouch! Talk Show a secret. Whisper it in the wind, shout it from the rooftops if u can access them, or just take a boombox on the commute and play it loud for all to hear. Disclaimer: Ouch! takes no responsibility for the reactions of angry rush hour travellers.
