BBC 5Live discussion "Is mum enough?"

Hi

I'm a producer at BBC Radio 5Live. On Bank Holiday Monday 9th April we are broadcasting a documentary entitled "Is mum enough?" presented by Reggie Yates. In it we hear different people's experiences of being brought up only by their mum - without a dad being around. We hope it will be an informative and powerful piece of radio. 

Following the documentary Stephen Nolan will be hosting an hour long phone in discussing the whole issue of "is mum enough" further. We'd love to talk to people who were brought up just by their mum. We'd also like to hear from mothers who've had to bring up their children on their own - and also any fathers who weren't part of their children's upbringing. We're after a wide variety of experiences and thoughts on the issue. 

If you'd be willing to take part in the phone in then please get in contact by the end of Friday 6th April. Email your name and telephone number to DAVID.PEARSON@BBC.CO.UK with some brief details of your experiences. I'll give you a call back for a chat before Monday. 

Many thanks
