'My Sparrow Gran' by Berlie Doherty (dramatisation and analysis)

The poem 'My Sparrow Gran' is recited by the poet Berlie Doherty, with accompanying pictures of the old lady described in the poem. The poet then discusses how and why her 'children's grandmother' resembled a sparrow in her manner and behaviour, and how this allows someone hearing the poem to form a picture of her in their mind.
