00:00It was one of the nicest jobs I've ever had, and that's not PR.
00:04Everyone on it was committed, everybody knew why they were there.
00:07The producer has an IVF family, the director has an IVF family and the writer has IVF children.
00:12So there was that element which, you know, informed the atmosphere to some degree.
00:17And it's a great story.
00:19These people failed over and over and over again for a ten year period against enormous
00:24opposition from the church, from the newspapers, from their families, from the medical association.
00:29Nobody believed in them.
00:31People put scare stories around that the children would be born with abnormalities, that they'd
00:35be deformed, that there would be mutations, all of that kind of tabloid stuff.
00:41And they persevered.
00:42And now it is estimated there are 16 million women who have children who would not have
00:46had children had they not persevered.
00:48So you can't get much of a bigger story than that.
