00:00It can't just be down to members of the public or, you know, people in the public eye getting out
00:05there trying to spread the message.
00:07It is important that we do that, but equally there should be some national screening campaign or something which is
00:13more coordinated.
00:15Wes Streeting, the health secretary, says he's going to spend Christmas going through all the data and all the reviews
00:20and reports from the scientists about whether there should be screening.
00:24What's your message to him from inside your hearts and minds as he goes through the data?
00:28Well, if we do nothing, if we sit on our hands and do nothing, as we are at the moment,
00:3210,000 men a year are going to find out too late.
00:34And we can't fail those men.
00:36Excuse me.
00:38So, yeah, I think we have to.
00:39We have to do something.
00:41And, you know, the PSA tests, the blood test that's available now, it's not perfect, but it's the best thing
00:46we have for the moment.
00:48And there are new screening methods.
00:50There's new, you know, there's trials in the best way to screen for it going on right now.
00:53So the future is looking more positive.
00:55But for now, we still need to have something, something coordinated to be on the front foot.
01:03I wonder if when people see the film, Sarah, they will be perhaps surprised that things at home are actually
01:09quite normal, aren't they?
01:11It's everyday life.
01:13And I think that's what we wanted to show, that life goes on and it is very normal.
01:18Well, but importantly, you know, you talked about meeting people with cancer and talking about it.
01:23That's the one thing that I have noticed.
01:25It is it obliterates everything.
01:28And yet life goes on and it can still be beautiful and it can still be lots of fun.
01:33And I think that, you know, for people watching it at Christmas, dealing with cancer in their families,
01:37I would hope that they might be able to be lifted to see that life goes on.
