He objects to how the editing process turns so many of the births into dramas. “I hate One Born Every Minute with a passion. You know what? For the first time in many, many years, tokophobia levels [the fear of giving birth] are on the rise. This is not a general anxiety, this is a phobic response. And now people are presenting with tokophobia who’ve never had a baby before. There is definitely a link with the reality type shows such as One Born Every Minute.”
