How to Be Champion

Episode 2: I Don't Want Kids

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Part-autobiography, part-self-help book, Sarah Millican's memoir is a funny, honest and sometimes outrageous account of how she went from being a quiet, bookish child to becoming one of Britain's most successful and best-loved stand-up comedians.

An astute observer of the ways in which society constrains and judges women, in this episode Sarah describes people's reactions (ranging from disbelief to outright shock) when she tells them that she doesn't like kids - and has never wanted to have children of her own.
