View as a gridThe interview of Saffie Roussos' parents about the launch of their book
BBC Breakfast
—
For this item on BBC Breakfast I conducted a briefing chat with Andrew and Lisa Roussos ahead of them appearing of the programme to talk about the new book that they had launched. I also chatted to David Collins, Investigative reporter at The Sunday Times as he was the author of the book. Andrew and Lisa had been doing a lot of press and were tired of being asked the same questions and so I was determined to make this interview different. They were very happy with the outcome and that they were listened to and understood.
