I love this series, my only complaint being the brevity of it. I would have liked to see more episodes with this fine ensemble cast, led by John Hannah. The opening credits with the beautiful aerial views of London are stunning. I was prompted to write this to correct what is misleading in the Trivia paragraph about this show. It most definitely is set in London and not my beloved Edinburgh.

(1995 TV Movie)
Male in vulnerable health trouble and female there to help with genuine determination
30 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I must admit, as a Scottish American, I have always sought out and found satisfaction in Robert Carlyle's work.
This time, as the daughter-in-law of a wonderful and amazing woman who had Multiple Sclerosis which, ultimately, led to her death 20 or so years after her diagnosis, it was AMAZING to see a film that dealt with the day to day issues of MS so realistically.
The fact that the film portrayed a male in the lead as the person diagnosed made it all the more compelling. This is not just a disease that affects females, and also, once diagnosed and as the MS progresses, it's impact is on the entire family or supportive community one hopes the MS patient has.
Robert Carlyle is just so heart-breaking perfect in this role. He should have won or should win something for his film.
