BBC Radio 5 Live - Afternoon Edition, 04/10/2016

Peter Davison, Sally Phillips and George the Poet on music and mental health.

Adoption - and whether people still stigmatise adopted children. Peter Davison, Sally Phillips and George the Poet takes over the programme to talk about music and mental health.

Is there a stigma around adoption? We hear from a woman whose grandparents effectively disowned her adopted son. Peter Davison tells us about life after Dr Who. Sally Phillips joins us to talk about her new documentary, A World Without Downs. And - does music have the power to help treat mental illness? George the Poet guest edits the last hour of the programme - that's the question he'll be trying to answer.
