Anne Hegerty: ‘Quizzing is easy, household tasks are the hard bit’

Access All: Disability News and Mental Health
Contains some strong language.

Available for over a year

Known as The Governess on quiz show The Chase, Anne Hegerty regularly puts wannabe-quiz champions firmly in their place. But while quizzing comes easily, Anne reveals to Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey that she finds everyday tasks, like washing her clothes, extremely challenging as an autistic person. She also has a theory about why bailiffs are like vampires… And BBC News correspondent, Sean Dilley, describes the heartbreak he’s going through having retired his guide dog, Sammy, after 10 years together and the long wait he’s facing for a new assistance dog. Producers: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey Recording / mixing: Dave O'Neill Editors: Beth Rose and Louisa Lewis
