The trouble is, what’s ‘reasonable’ to one person is outrageous to another. Is it okay to let children play in the garden while others are working from home? To do your makeup on a train, or recline your seat on an aeroplane? What’s the right way to breastfeed? To protect your neighbourhood? To protest against injustice and oppression? In a world where we all think we’re being reasonable, how can we figure out what’s right?

Faber is to publish Kirsty Sedgman’s ‘timely and thought-provoking’ book on human behaviour, On Being Unreasonable. He enjoyed filming the BBC show Dodger because there are a lot of other children and young people in it. Rush plays a road sweeper, Morgan – a cheeky, cheerful boy who is, says Rush, probably the closest character to himself that he has played. Am I Being Unreasonable? is a 6-part British comedy-thriller series produced by Boffola Pictures and Lookout Point and written by, and starring, Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli. The series was broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom from 26 September 2022. The series premiered in the United States on Hulu on 11 April 2023. A second series was commissioned by the BBC in October 2022. In On Being Unreasonable, Sedgman shows us how we can develop new rules of engagement in a world where people disagree on what constitutes appropriate behaviour but in which everyone believes they are abiding by ‘common sense’. Should women not do their makeup on trains? Is there an appropriate way to breastfeed in public? Is there a right way and a wrong way to protest against prejudice and discrimination?He always, he says, knew that he was different from average-height children, though he noticed it more as he got older. His family were a part of Little People UK, the charity and community set up by Davis and his wife, Samantha. “Sometimes, with dwarfism, you feel as if you are the only one, and when you go there, there are so many other people. It’s lovely to see. You don’t realise how many people are living life the same way as you.” Filming took place in 2021 at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol and on location in Gloucestershire. [4] So this is not to say that Sedgman wants us to abandon reason. She is the first to admit: the ability to improvise an acceptable way to behave in a novel social situation is an irreducible requirement of our ability to live together at all. We all make choices every day, trying to be "reasonable". And some rules are necessary for some people to be included in public life at all (think about rules to aid people with disabilities). The problem arises when the use of the word becomes unmoored from the actual social good. We should be skeptical, Sedgman thinks, of appeals to common sense. We should interrogate how such norms actually came about, the purpose they are actually serving, and what really justifies them, if anything. Examining an unexamined appeal to common sense often reveals that the driving force is merely the interests of the powerful.

His character, Ollie – funny, sensible, but multilayered and with possibly a very dark side by the end of the series – wasn’t written as a child with a disability at first. “Nothing is ever really stated about my disability in the show either – it’s sort of just there.” When they were casting, his agent had asked if a disabled child could audition. “I think it made them think: ‘Why not?’” Apparently kindred spirits … Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli in Am I Being Unreasonable?

Sound reasons aren’t just more opinions or the original opinion reiterated. For example if I said, “He’s a loser,” you asked why, and I said, “He has lame ideas and is stupid,” I haven’t given very sound reasons, I’ve just heaped on opinions.
