4. He Said My Name

What's the Story, Ashley Storrie?

Available for over a year

Growing up surrounded by gangsters and a dysfunctional family, this is the story of Ashley - a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics. Ashley's obsession for films and musicals serves her well as she enters the workforce, leading thousands of children in song and blonde wigs. Her neuro-diversity diagnosis is welcomed and, just like her father, understanding her place on the spectrum opens up new horizons. Just to top things off, her other father gets in touch for the first time. Written by Ashley Storrie Produced by Julia Sutherland A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4
