 Dr Agam Jung: Caring for Rob Burrow & Building the MND Centre

Dr Agam Jung: Caring for Rob Burrow & Building the MND Centre

Christine and Matt chat to the consultant neurologist who became known across the UK and beyond for the exceptional care she gave rugby league legend Rob Burrow following his motor neurone disease diagnosis.

Dr Agam also played a leading role in creating the Rob Burrow Centre for MND, helping to raise millions of pounds to make the centre a reality.


Her remarkable relationship with Rob was captured in two acclaimed BBC documentaries, revealing a partnership built on determination, hope and an unwavering belief that anything was possible. Together, they refused to accept "no" for an answer — they dared to dream, and they made those dreams come true.

In this inspiring conversation, Dr Agam reflects on:
• Her time caring for Rob Burrow.
• The journey to opening the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.
• The latest hopes for MND research and a future cure.
• Her experiences as an Indian woman in a male-dominated profession.
• Why listening to your inner voice and embracing adventure can change your life.
• And she reveals how a piece of history from her past became her special item.

Dr Agam was an absolute joy to meet, and this is a conversation full of inspiration, courage and hope.

Lindsey Burrow om kärlek, vårdande och livet efter förlust

Some stories change the way a country talks about illness, love and resilience. Not because they are extraordinary in a sensational sense, but because they reveal what happens inside ordinary families when life becomes unimaginably hard. Matt Jameson and Christine Talbot sit down with Lindsey Burrow, mother, campaigner and the devoted wife of Rob Burrow. Together, Rob and Lindsey became the public face of love in the face of motor neurone disease. Their story moved millions not because it sought attention, but because it showed what commitment, dignity and compassion look like when everything else is stripped away. This conversation is not simply about loss. It is about caring, endurance, identity and what it means to keep showing up for the people you love when the future becomes uncertain.

Danny Malin om hälsa, balans och livet bortom viral berömmelse

När Danny Malin först dök upp på Yorkshire Talks, mötte tittarna en man i ett ögonblick av enorm förändring. Tillsammans med sin fru Sophie Malin och deras lilla dotter Athena Malin, talade Danny öppet om att bli pappa, hantera plötslig berömmelse och de påfrestningar som kom med att bli igenkänd överallt han gick. Nu återvänder Danny för Säsong Två, och denna konversation känns annorlunda. Tystare, mer reflekterande och rotad i hälsa, välbefinnande och vad det innebär att lyssna på sin kropp när livet börjar kräva för mycket.
