The A Word

[Ally]

Anyone watch this last night on BBC1.

I really enjoyed it...I love anything with Christopher Eccleston but also thought the mum was a great actress and the little boy was also excellent.

[Workingman]

I didn't watch, largely due to my brother's condition, but maybe I should have. See my thread on Employable Me as to why.

[Lozzles]

I thought it was fabulous, Ally.

[Osc]

Just caught up on it last night - loved it, where do they get such great child actors.

[Gal]

They put this on in the huge gap left by Happy Valley....I was glad it had Christopher Eccleston in it so we watched and I really enjoyed it. The Lakes as a backdrop and what a talented little lad!

Great stuff!

[Ally]

Another cracking episode!

Well done to all the cast for some excellent acting.

[Rodo]

I felt a bit reluctant before I watched the first episode, but having watched that I was hooked. It really is superb.

[Gal]

I have no experience of a child with Joe's problems, but does anyone think his parents indulge him rather too much?

[Ally]

Last night's episode was fab!

Every actor is playing a blinding role...Alison (the mum) in particular is superb.

Also need to mention Joe... and Christopher Eccleston is just a delight.

[Osc]

Totally agree, even if I would like to give the mother a good "cop on to yourself" shake! Christopher Eccleston is fantastic and Joe is just amazing. In fact the whole cast is excellent.
