BBC 1 tonight. A hard watch but a quite riveting performance by Glenda Jackson, former star of Women in Love, an MP for some years and now in her eighties. Its based on a book by Emma Healey. The main character is Maud (Glenda Jackson) who is struggling with Alzheimer’s. The story revolves around two time periods, one when she was young when her sister went missing and the second in the present day when she can't find her friend. In many ways its the difference in the sharpness of mind that she can remember what happened when she was young contrasted with the confusion and anger of not being able to remember what is happen in the present time. It is not an easy watch and for those you have had love ones who suffered the same condition it will be quite poignant.
