Tonight - are we too quick to hand out antidepressants to kids?

:00:00.:00:00.

Plus - tennis, Trainspotting and Attenborough on Trump -

:00:00.:00:08.

Hello and welcome to the first ever Timeline.

:00:09.:00:35.

And great to see Shereen back on the telly -

:00:36.:00:41.

Yes, ten years - it's good to be back.

:00:42.:00:48.

So tonight - on the week the whole country has gone a bit Trainspotting

:00:49.:00:51.

mad, we get a different view from one of the film-makers.

:00:52.:00:54.

We have an exclusive interview with Judy Murray who says Scotland's

:00:55.:00:56.

too late in capitalising on her boys' success.

:00:57.:00:59.

That was Inti the armadillo from Edinburgh Zoo who I got to hold

:01:00.:01:04.

when I went to see Sir David Attenborough.

:01:05.:01:07.

Sir David will be talking about the future of the planet.

:01:08.:01:14.

First - what will be a difficult story for many parents -

:01:15.:01:16.

would you want to know if your child was being prescribed

:01:17.:01:19.

Annette McKenzie wishes she'd been told before her 16-year-old

:01:20.:01:25.

daughter Britney died from an overdose last summer.

:01:26.:01:29.

Annette's grief is still very raw but she's taken a petition

:01:30.:01:33.

to the Scottish Parliament demanding a change in the law.

:01:34.:01:36.

She told me earlier what happened when Britney went for help.

:01:37.:01:41.

The day Britney went to the doctors,... Did she tell you she was

:01:42.:01:51.

going? No. It was three days after Father's Day. Thinking back, Britney

:01:52.:01:59.

was working, getting up in the morning, going to work, chatting to

:02:00.:02:04.

her friends. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Back then, in

:02:05.:02:10.

June, we would have been out on a family occasion for my son's ninth

:02:11.:02:15.

birthday and she was so happy. So fun loving. She was even being a big

:02:16.:02:24.

kid on the dodgems and things like that and having a good time. To me,

:02:25.:02:29.

it was like, whatever she was dealing with, she was doing OK and

:02:30.:02:35.

getting better. And then I noticed, I would say the last two weeks, her

:02:36.:02:43.

mood changed a lot. She didn't want to get out of bed, she didn't want

:02:44.:02:47.

to do the simplest task of going to the shop. She wasn't really eating.

:02:48.:02:53.

And I would say to her, what is wrong? And she would say nothing. I

:02:54.:02:58.

asked her why she wouldn't eat and she said she wasn't hungry. There

:02:59.:03:04.

were no signs that she was going to do what she did. None at all.

:03:05.:03:11.

Britney was quite vocal. A lot of people have jumped on her Facebook

:03:12.:03:14.

account and said, you can quite clearly see she was upset and

:03:15.:03:20.

feeling down. Did they not think I could see those things as well and

:03:21.:03:24.

that I would speak to her? I would speak to her as her mother and get

:03:25.:03:30.

to the bottom of whatever it was. She was having trouble online? I

:03:31.:03:36.

don't know, if that interpreted to her thoughts and feelings that night

:03:37.:03:41.

alone. When did you realise she had been taking these pills? When her

:03:42.:03:49.

friend came, at 3:17am and knocked on the front door. She asked me if

:03:50.:03:59.

Britney was OK. I was, yes, she is in bed, she is fine and she was

:04:00.:04:07.

like, no, she has taken an overdose. My partner, I can't remember events

:04:08.:04:14.

properly from that night but I can remember, I was shouting back to the

:04:15.:04:26.

girl, she came back into the room after me and she was saying, her own

:04:27.:04:31.

pills. I rang the emergency services and they asked me what Whitney had

:04:32.:04:37.

taken and I said I didn't know. -- Britney. I didn't understand, I

:04:38.:04:42.

didn't think Britney had her own pills. I didn't properly find out

:04:43.:04:50.

Britney had been given these pills until... I think it was when the CID

:04:51.:04:54.

came to see me a couple of days later. That is when I found out how

:04:55.:04:58.

many tablets Britney had been given for the month. At 16, she was

:04:59.:05:05.

legally able to make those health decisions. In the eyes of the law,

:05:06.:05:13.

yes. I know a lot of people think, at 16, you can move out, you can do

:05:14.:05:19.

certain things, and it is like, physically, I would say, maybe you

:05:20.:05:24.

are ready, but emotionally, it lags behind. Do you think Britney

:05:25.:05:28.

understood all the tablet she was taking? Not at all. The tablets

:05:29.:05:39.

Britney was taking, she had antibiotics twice in her life, she

:05:40.:05:43.

never went to the doctor, she wasn't a sickly child. No reason to take

:05:44.:05:49.

her to the doctor. So what they gave her, the dosage, it was high. No

:05:50.:05:55.

guidelines to say a child of a certain age is only allowed a

:05:56.:06:01.

certain dose or only allowed this tablet under the watchful eye of a

:06:02.:06:06.

mother or father or guardian, they are 13, they go into that doctors

:06:07.:06:10.

and sit in front of them and have the conversation with the doctor.

:06:11.:06:18.

That doctor then Dean is if you understand and are capable of

:06:19.:06:24.

administering and understanding your medication. I don't understand how a

:06:25.:06:28.

doctor can assess that in 15 minutes. This is where it Britney's

:06:29.:06:36.

plea comes in, you have taken a petition to the Scottish Parliament.

:06:37.:06:41.

What do you want to see happening? More talking about mental health.

:06:42.:06:48.

Not completely taking away the medication but understanding

:06:49.:06:51.

situations where kids do need to be medicated. Some people have

:06:52.:06:55.

experiences in life that they can't control and they do need medication

:06:56.:07:00.

for it. I think when we are just giving kids medication from the ages

:07:01.:07:06.

of 13, 14, 15, at those ages, there are a lot of life changes going on

:07:07.:07:10.

at the same time. Something you would take as an everyday event,

:07:11.:07:14.

they are taking at the end of the world because they are not mature

:07:15.:07:17.

enough to realise, I had just split up with my boyfriend or fallen out

:07:18.:07:22.

with my best friend, that things will get better, they just think the

:07:23.:07:28.

world is caving in. You can treat mental health wrongly in so many

:07:29.:07:34.

children for that reason. I know it has been difficult for you to talk

:07:35.:07:39.

about this but thank you very much. You have given parents a lot to

:07:40.:07:40.

think about. Let's have a look at prescribing in

:07:41.:07:45.

numbers. 850,000 Scots prescribed

:07:46.:07:50.

anti-depressants last year. 1,123 were children

:07:51.:07:53.

under the age of 14. Well, Dr Miles Mack

:07:54.:08:02.

from the Royal College Are GPs too quick to

:08:03.:08:04.

prescribe antidepressants? Ake or anti-anxiety drugs? Drugs

:08:05.:08:21.

have an important part in our treatment for mental health

:08:22.:08:26.

problems. I don't think that is the first line and I believe our role is

:08:27.:08:30.

to be there, really as the first point of call for people, the unique

:08:31.:08:36.

position GPs have got, is that quite often, we have known these people

:08:37.:08:41.

since they were quite young. We may well have an inkling as to the

:08:42.:08:44.

social circumstances if we're lucky enough to have built that long-term

:08:45.:08:48.

relationship. When they come to us, our job is to make that assessment

:08:49.:08:51.

and start to think about what help they need and what support.

:08:52.:08:57.

Sometimes, it is a helping hand, sometimes they just need help making

:08:58.:09:01.

some difficult decisions. That doesn't need to be a GP to do that

:09:02.:09:05.

but obviously, we are recognised as the first point of call.

:09:06.:09:07.

Is it true that GPs don't have to tell the parents,

:09:08.:09:10.

even if they are giving a child as young as 13 antidepressants?

:09:11.:09:15.

At the age of 16, in Scotland, they are treated as adults. We are very

:09:16.:09:24.

mindful of our responsibility for patient confidentiality. It is

:09:25.:09:27.

incredibly important to actually make sure people do access us. There

:09:28.:09:32.

is a real issue about people not getting help. Under 16, it is on a

:09:33.:09:43.

case-by-case basis. If we feel that patient understands their treatment

:09:44.:09:47.

and the implications of that treatment, we would support their

:09:48.:09:50.

confidentiality. That doesn't mean to say we won't encourage them to be

:09:51.:09:56.

in contact with their parents or other people close to them. We would

:09:57.:10:00.

absolutely convinced the best chance of successful outcome is if they

:10:01.:10:03.

have got that social support around them. When you listen to a net,

:10:04.:10:09.

isn't it the case that she or indeed any parent would be a better able to

:10:10.:10:12.

help the child if they had that information? We absolutely agree we

:10:13.:10:18.

want the parents involved. We want to make sure they have as many

:10:19.:10:22.

supports close to them. If they decide they don't want to have them

:10:23.:10:29.

contact, we have to respect that. Wouldn't you want to know,

:10:30.:10:31.

if it was your child? I am a parent and I understand what

:10:32.:10:41.

they are going through. It is tough, always wondering but as a parent, I

:10:42.:10:47.

always want to know that if they don't feel they can speak to me,

:10:48.:10:50.

they can go to someone who is trusted and who knows the system and

:10:51.:10:53.

can help navigate them through the difficulties they will have to get

:10:54.:10:55.

through. Thank you. If you've been affected by any

:10:56.:10:57.

of the issues we've been discussing and would like details

:10:58.:11:00.

of organisations which offer advice and support, you can go online

:11:01.:11:04.

to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call free any time to hear recorded

:11:05.:11:06.

information on 0800 066066. In the past hour we've heard the sad

:11:07.:11:16.

news that the former Labour MP Tam Dalyell has died,

:11:17.:11:19.

at the age of 84. He sat in the House of Commons

:11:20.:11:23.

from 1962 until 2005, representing Lots of tribute still coming in. He

:11:24.:11:38.

ended his career in Parliament as father of the House of Commons

:11:39.:11:42.

because he was at that point, the longest serving MP after more than

:11:43.:11:46.

40 years. Many tributes coming in from across the political divide.

:11:47.:11:53.

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party says, sad to hear of the death

:11:54.:11:58.

of my friend. Fearless in pursuit of truth, thoughts with the family.

:11:59.:12:04.

From the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP, she says very

:12:05.:12:08.

sad to hear of the death of Tam Dalyell, a giant of Scottish

:12:09.:12:13.

politics. Ruth Davidson saying very sorry to hear of his death, he was

:12:14.:12:18.

unique, thoughtful, gracious, dignified and utterly tenacious. You

:12:19.:12:25.

knew him well, what was he like? He was a gentleman first and foremost,

:12:26.:12:30.

hugely intelligent and fiercely independent. No lengths to which he

:12:31.:12:36.

wouldn't go to pursue what he felt strongly about. The creation of the

:12:37.:12:42.

Scottish Parliament, he thought it would be a motorway without exit

:12:43.:12:48.

without independent Scotland. He was thought of as a thorn in the side of

:12:49.:12:53.

whatever government was in power. The title of his biography, The

:12:54.:13:00.

Importance Of Being Awkward. Tennis now, Judy Murray is the mum

:13:01.:13:10.

of a tennis Singles World No One She's also very vocal on how kids

:13:11.:13:15.

from poorer areas aren't getting the chances that her boys got

:13:16.:13:21.

and that more could be done to capitalise on Andy and Jamie's

:13:22.:13:24.

sucess.She's been speaking Andy Murray remains for now, world

:13:25.:13:37.

number one. His success has put Scotland on the sporting map. Much

:13:38.:13:41.

of that is down to the hard work of this woman, his mum, Judy. I met up

:13:42.:13:46.

with her just before she headed out to Melbourne and we began by talking

:13:47.:13:49.

about who really gets opportunities in sport. I am a private schoolboy

:13:50.:13:57.

and played rugby at private school. Do you think sport is a level

:13:58.:14:02.

playing field for every one of different income levels? Absolutely

:14:03.:14:08.

no chance. I also went to a private school and will always be grateful

:14:09.:14:11.

to my parents forgive me that opportunity because I love sport and

:14:12.:14:14.

I played for every school team available. It was great for me. But

:14:15.:14:21.

if I hadn't gone to that school, I would not have had those

:14:22.:14:24.

opportunities and therefore, I wouldn't have become what I became.

:14:25.:14:29.

It is funny because if I hadn't gone to private school,... And if you

:14:30.:14:39.

hadn't gone, they might not be Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, it doesn't

:14:40.:14:44.

feel right, does it? It does not, I think so often now, if there are not

:14:45.:14:50.

opportunities within the state schools and within the locality in

:14:51.:14:55.

which you live in, that make it easy for kids to go into a sport and

:14:56.:15:01.

develop at it, then it really is again up to the parents to try to

:15:02.:15:07.

support that love or desire of what the child wants to do. If you are in

:15:08.:15:12.

the east end of Glasgow for example, hosted two semifinals of the Davis

:15:13.:15:15.

Cup and doesn't have one public tennis court for anyone to play, so

:15:16.:15:21.

anyone inspired by that, isn't going to be the play and that is my point.

:15:22.:15:27.

You put on the big events, you get people excited, but then the

:15:28.:15:28.

opportunity is there. And it has to be cheaper. It has to

:15:29.:15:39.

be cheap and affordable. If I look at my experience with the boys, they

:15:40.:15:43.

played every sport under the sun when they were little, and settled

:15:44.:15:49.

on a couple that they liked. But anti-it was football, and tennis. I

:15:50.:15:57.

could never have afforded for my kids to do terrace if I had not

:15:58.:16:02.

played tennis myself. No chance. It is not a level playing field is it?

:16:03.:16:10.

No chance. No question. They have long called for more investment in

:16:11.:16:17.

tennis and are often back in tennis promoting the grassroots game.

:16:18.:16:22.

Recently sport Scotland, announced a ?15 million investment in indoor

:16:23.:16:27.

courts, is that enough? 50 million in itself would build about 30

:16:28.:16:32.

indoor courts and we could do with a whole lot more than that. It has

:16:33.:16:37.

been an enormous source of frustration to me because I have

:16:38.:16:40.

seen the opportunity that the success of the boys has presented to

:16:41.:16:45.

our sport and yet nobody has really grasped it and seen what we can do.

:16:46.:16:51.

Until Jamie starts treating. I think somebody has to do draw attention to

:16:52.:16:58.

it. -- Jamie starts tweeting. What was clear to me over the last year

:16:59.:17:03.

and a half, was when we bought Davis Cup matches to Glasgow the two

:17:04.:17:08.

semifinals that were at the Emirates Arena, they were sold out within

:17:09.:17:13.

hours and the atmosphere was incredible, and then we had and

:17:14.:17:17.

the's exhibition match at the Hydro which was the first thing any thing

:17:18.:17:22.

like that had been done in Scotland and that sold out very quickly.

:17:23.:17:28.

There is a huge appetite for it. For people to watch it in Scotland and

:17:29.:17:32.

what has worried me is seeing that nobody else is really grasping this

:17:33.:17:36.

opportunity to grow our sport at this boom time. Andy and Jamie may

:17:37.:17:43.

only play for another few years and when they stop playing, that is too

:17:44.:17:47.

late to start creating a legacy, you have to jump on it now. If you wait

:17:48.:17:52.

two or three years, when they have gone, tennis could go back to being

:17:53.:17:57.

largely available in this country again. Should have started nine

:17:58.:17:58.

years ago. Exactly. Well I don't know about the next

:17:59.:18:00.

generation of tennis stars but the film Trainspotting

:18:01.:18:03.

is reaching a new generation with the release of T2 tomorrow.

:18:04.:18:05.

You'll have no doubt seen shots from the premiere in Edinburgh

:18:06.:18:13.

at the weekend, indeed it was a star studded occasion but we've taken

:18:14.:18:16.

a slightly different perspective on how the movie brand continues

:18:17.:18:19.

to make an impact 20 years on. Filmmaker Garry Fraser was brought

:18:20.:18:25.

on board to work on the new movie Choose life, choose a job, choose a

:18:26.:18:49.

career... It is a cult classic and one of Britain's greatest ever

:18:50.:18:54.

films. It told the study of the capital's drug culture. In 1996 when

:18:55.:19:01.

the first film came out I was dealing and kicking heroine. My life

:19:02.:19:07.

was spiralling out of control and I was chaotic. -- dealing and taking

:19:08.:19:15.

heroin. The drugs and inequality destroyed communities and very

:19:16.:19:18.

quickly I had the realisation when I looked to my son's eyes that I had

:19:19.:19:22.

to turn my life around and that is what I did. I started making short

:19:23.:19:31.

films and enrolled in the cause of Edinburgh College. It was a new

:19:32.:19:35.

life, but I was always trying to tell the story of the old one. A

:19:36.:19:45.

full generation of people died here. My first feature film got me a BAFTA

:19:46.:19:51.

and attention. Irvine Welsh solid and it was him that told Danny Boyle

:19:52.:19:55.

that I should be involved in the Trainspotting sequel. -- Ivan Wells

:19:56.:20:05.

saw it. The new film looks at life after addiction. A battle that I

:20:06.:20:12.

know well. You are an addict. Do you think I haven't had that so many

:20:13.:20:17.

times. So, be addicted to something else. Like running until I feel

:20:18.:20:24.

sick? Yes. And it wasn't just my talent that Danny Welbeck ignite, he

:20:25.:20:28.

decided to cast these guys to after he came to our acting class. It was

:20:29.:20:36.

brilliant, Danny Boyle made us feel welcome and talk to others about

:20:37.:20:39.

normal stuff, like football and music, treated us like normal

:20:40.:20:45.

people. The addiction stuff, the way bet they put it across in the film

:20:46.:20:51.

is good, because it is about moving forward and channelling their energy

:20:52.:20:54.

into something positive and making healthy choices. I think they

:20:55.:20:58.

captured that well. I think it is great how they looked at addiction

:20:59.:21:01.

and didn't just covered the drugs, they could Facebook, food, exercise,

:21:02.:21:12.

addiction covers a wide range of stuff and I think Trainspotting has

:21:13.:21:19.

captured that. I am really looking forward to you having your position

:21:20.:21:24.

where you are sitting in the cinema and yous are part of the most

:21:25.:21:30.

anticipated film of 2017. An Edinburgh has massively changed

:21:31.:21:35.

since the first Trainspotting, it has a new parliament, shiny new

:21:36.:21:40.

trams and lots of money blowing in. But there has also been

:21:41.:21:46.

gentrification and working class communities pushed to the edge of

:21:47.:21:51.

the city. It has become more multicultural and diversity is a

:21:52.:21:56.

good thing. Now, I can appreciate Trainspotting was a film than what I

:21:57.:22:01.

did back then. What I have come to realise after all these years is

:22:02.:22:05.

that Trainspotting is a work of fiction made for Hollywood and not a

:22:06.:22:09.

documentary. You are creating something for a large audience and

:22:10.:22:13.

you have to do make something magical. Now I am part of that

:22:14.:22:17.

magic, as well. Gary Fraser and his role in

so head there to join Already Judy Murray has been having

:22:34.:22:48.

a conversation with solitude. -- there with some of you.

:22:49.:22:50.

There's also a chat with Professional MasterChef

A behind the scenes film of our studio.

:22:53.:22:55.

Sir David Attenborough answers the questions you wanted asked.

:22:56.:22:57.

I did and Sir David is worried by the news that last year the world

:22:58.:23:03.

There has been an increase in the world temperature and we know now

:23:04.:23:12.

that it was human activity that contributed very largely to that

:23:13.:23:17.

with the release of carbon dioxide and other gases, which greenhouse

:23:18.:23:23.

gases which means that the rays from the sun carrying he'd come in, but

get interesting butterflies coming up from your work. From that point

of view, yes. But, that is a very special point of view. If the

:24:07.:24:12.

temperature of the oceans increase and the temperature of the world

:24:13.:24:16.

increases, there is a possibility that the ice caps, particularly in

:24:17.:24:23.

the North will melt. It is a triggering effect that as you rise,

:24:24.:24:30.

and it gets warmer, suddenly, the moment comes when instead of being

:24:31.:24:34.

solid it is liquid. If that happens to the ice cap in the Arctic, the

:24:35.:24:39.

level of the oceans of the world will rise and man has always built

over a long period of time. I remember that you had a famous and

:25:02.:25:08.

privileged conversation with Obama. Would his successor be as receptive

:25:09.:25:13.

to your point of view? We will have to see, I don't know enough about

:25:14.:25:18.

American politics to know how powerful, President Obama said a lot

:25:19.:25:22.

of marvellous things in support of conservation but was frustrated in

putting them into effect because of the way that American politics were.

:25:46.:25:51.

about taking America out of the United Nations's agreements and

:25:52.:25:56.

climate change. If he invited you into the White House, what would you

say to persuade him that he does need to stick with that? I don't

know, it doesn't seem to me that he listened a lot to some of the

:26:07.:26:09.

arguments that are put to him if he doesn't agree with them. Not the man

who changes his mind recently. Theresa May is meeting him in the

White House, should she put this high on her agenda? I hope so, but

:26:21.:26:24.

she will have a big agenda and I don't know how long they have the

top. Can we successfully reverse climate change and its effect we do

:26:30.:26:33.

not have the US on board? It will be very much more difficult and the

:26:34.:26:39.

fact was that America wasn't and bought about climate change in the

:26:40.:26:45.

days before Obama. So, we will have deceived. I wonder when you look
