Steve talks with Lauren Nicklinson, who’s father Tony wanted the right to die.
One of the most heart-breaking and important debates of our times – the right to die. Tony Nicklinson was paralysed from the neck down following a stroke at the age of 51. For 7 years, and following his death, his family have campaigned tirelessly for a change in the law to allow assisted suicide. Steve talks with Tony’s daughter Lauren on the show.
Steve was always someone with interest in, knowledge of and enthusiasm for politics; he was always a first-rate presenter. He was excellent; he was eager to be briefed, keen to be involved, and very professional in front of camera. As a broadcasting professional he is great to work with; as a viewer and listener I believe he makes a very good presenter”
