Call the Midwife s Stephen McGann hails important nuclear test scandal storyline Mirror 3 hrs ago Susie Boniface
When Call the Midwife star Stephen McGann saw a script about the scandal of Britain’s nuclear tests, he did not need to do much research.
Having witnessed the Hillsborough tragedy on April 15, 1989 with brother and fellow actor Paul, he knew how it felt to be a victim of a cover-up following the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans.
“I have seen what happens when smaller lives get shattered by a big event,” he says. “The stories don’t get told, and some get hidden when they should get talked about. We need to change the tone of how we talk about the nuclear tests, before these people die without the justice they deserve.”
