I found this gem on You Tube today. Having enjoyed Deric Longden’s book many moons ago, I had loved Wide Eyed and Legless with Julie Walters and Jim Broadbent, and Thora Hird as the mother, so I watched this follow up, this time about the mother, again played by Thora, but this time with Pete Postlethwaite as Deric. A splendid watch.
Try them both if you’re looking for something to watch.

Thanks for the recommendation. Have just watched it and was very moved by it. Great acting, and some great one-liners too. Brilliant!

I loved "Lost for Words" - Will look out for" Wide Eyed and Legless" - enjoyed the book "Diana's Story" - was sad to read that Deric Longden had died.

I loved this too, as always Thora Hird was brilliant, her timing is spot on. Pete Postlethwaite was excellent in all his roles, a great actor.
