This month the new medical drama Maternal hits our screens on ITV. But it's a medical drama with a difference - it focuses on three female doctors returning to work after maternity leave. 

When I read about the premise it struck a chord, so in a slight departure from our normal format in this episode I interview writer of Maternal Jacqui Honess-Martin.

Here's what we talk about:

-Why Jacqui chose to write about the subject

-Her personal experience of returning to work after maternity leave

-How she researched the subject

-The message she hoped to leave with the viewers
