Hurrah for Clarissa Mullery. If you’re not familiar with Silent Witness, Clarissa Mullery, played by Liz Carr, is a fantastic forensic scientist. She is clever, witty, insightful and very good at her job – oh yes, and she happens to be a wheelchair-user. Thankfully, Clarissa is no stereotype – she is a well-rounded, believable character, and crucially her disability doesn’t drive the narrative. It’s refreshing and it’s important.

Many disabled people feel misunderstood and misrepresented by the media.
