Bionic Bev: Turning my disability into a 'work of art'
Stacey DooleyAvailable for over a year
Roller derby enthusiast Bev was born with one arm. Since she was a child she had longed for a piece of technology that could put an end to clunky prosthetics. Stacey meets Bev as she is about to receive a new high-tech robotic arm and follows her transformation into 'bionic Bev'. After decades of trying to hide her limb difference, Bev is now ready to shout about it - and turn herself into a “walking work of art". ==================== Credits: Presenter: Stacey Dooley Producers: Blanca Muñoz, Francesca Bent Executive producer: Natasha Johansson Digital producers: Sam Ashton, Stephen Trenchard This has been a Little Dooley production for BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.
