After Thomas (2006)
Excellent Drama
One of those wonderful lucky accidents - I Tivo'd this program based purely on the fact that Keeley Hawes was in it and she's one of my favorite actresses so whatever it was it would be good because of her. Little did I expect to be blown away by the performances of everyone in the cast, most especially Kyle and Thomas himself! Ben Miles was a pleasant surprise. Having only ever seen him in Coupling, here he showed he's capable of so much more.
This is one of the sweetest and most touching dramas I've seen in a long time and to find out it was a true story just made it all the more incredible. By the end I was in tears. You don't need to have a child with autism to grasp the intensity and heartfelt emotion of the parents and indeed the grandparents as they tried to deal with the issues surrounding a child with special needs.
