012010011220100816 (R4)Author and journalist Fiona Neill explores the experience of growing up in a creatively successful family.

Fiona considers the challenges of maintaining a creative career while bringing up small children. How does a writer, working at home, manage to carve out the mental and physical space to work? Is the 'pram in the hallway' really a barrier to creative thought?

She talks to Jennifer Saunders, Adrian Edmondson, Daphne Du Maurier's daughter Tessa Montgomery and songwriter Guy Chambers about their experiences of balancing these conflicting demands.
