³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

I cannot wait to see this - the adverts for it have been excellent and I just hope that the film is up to scratch. It's nothing to do with me being an avid David Tennant fan though....nooooo..... not at all... (I can't help it - he is gorgeous!)

I saw this programme last night - i thought it was a really good programme - very well made. A few years ago i had a car accident and also had a brain injury, the programme really shows how hard the recovery is and i could relate to so much in it. Are there any plans to put it in the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ online shop? I would really like to buy a copy

Brilliant! Thank you so very very much. I saw myself on the screen for the first time - as a real person. Not just an anonymous body in a documentary about 'head injury'. And it helped me see what my poor family must have been through. Please can we have lots more dramas with characters with an impairment. So we can claim our place in society as real people, rather than just objects of pity and medical intervention.

David proved again why he is one of my v favourite TV actors - too skinny by far, but extremely gifted!
The programme was closely akin to brain injury, the swearing was sadly typical.

Recovery had me crying by the end, David crying is just too much for the human mind to cope with

I watched it and the acting was superb. But I did wonder why none of the characters thought to try for any type of disability benefits or contact a charity for help. Surely a doctor would have mentioned it to them or they would be resourceful enough to find out for themselves? I also thought that the teenage son character should have postponed his university for a year and worked if the family were in such dire financial straits - universities can hardly be unsympathetic in such a situation. The idea that the family would be alone to fend for themselves seems strange to me.

dealt with the issue brilliantly and the best acting in a tv program i have seen in a long time

Can someone please tell me what happened at the end of this programme? I watched the first hour but then found it difficult to watch as it became more emotional. Would really like to know if the character made any recovery, if the wife stayed with him, and if the eldest son went to Uni/accepted his father? I realise this wasn't really the point of the programme, but I'd like to know.

She does stay with him after almost leaving, and he starts to rebuild a bit. They both start to accept they can settle for less. The older son starts to help him too, he does go to Uni. You are left with a truthful ending. No guarantees. There is a fantastic scene at the end where he plays the Paul Weller song again and cries and says stuff about not being sure he has anything for her to love. This is so true to life and shows a real understanding of depression.

Interesting theme have mentioned. With pleasure I shall support.

And in general, good blog

re recovery 25/02/07 watching this was very hard, but it helped my husband understand how life is for me and our two sons. his injuy was eight years ago and we are still learning how to love this stranger. Very true to life, felt like there has been secret camera in my house. would like a copy if going on sale.

i love david tennant

it is great and fun to watch docter who

OMG DAVID TENNANT IZ DA HOTTEST GUY ALIVE!! if u dont agree... well i dnt care

truly, truly incredible. i've never know any one who has had brain damage, the only experience was my grandmother with Alzheimer's when i was 4. This made me cry so much to realize what my father must have been going through even if only a little was like this. and i also agree with everyone above, David Tennant is the best male actor of this time, probably because he is not obsessed about holly wood and still takes time to do ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ and ITV productions!
and the whole thing is on youtube btw

ps time for sleep finally!

i think david tennant is AWSOME he acts reallly well and im such a big fan!!

i really hope david tennant gets better cause, DOCTER WHO deserves to be OOKAY.....
