LONDON: 'My Life': Big Brother airs on BBC2 - 'Big Brother', a half hour documentary I produced and directed for the 'My Life' series was shown on BBC2 on Saturday 19th March at 11.15am.
Brothers Aidan and Ethan have a unique relationship. Aidan (10) has a form of dwarfism and so Ethan (14) helps take care of him. Their sense of humour and courage makes this an uplifting as well as a moving tale. Narrated by Warwick Davis.
