But things go awry quickly as Teresa uncovers a dark secret.

BBC Comedian Lord Rajj on his Gujarati mum telling people to "die" at airports (relationship, mom)

BBC funny man Lord Rajj (yes, he's actually a "Lord", well, sort of) is a comedian with a kick. Gujarati by heritage, Londoner by birth, his mum Rita heralded her arrival in the UK from India by telling people to "go away and die" at the airport (a line her brother gave Rita in case people bothered her on her journey). The comedy doesn't end there. We talk blue gods, bad jokes and buying a Lordship in this episode of My Mum Made Me.

In this episode we talk coming out, carrying babies and crying in the House of Commons.

In this episode, the first of two looking at how the NHS shapes us, we talk gossiping mums, cooking and campaigning.
