I've come on here to ask the same thing. Found it by accident whilst ironing, missed the beginning bit picked it up easily. Got a feeling it will get difficult to watch.

I think it might be a bit 'sanitised' in its depiction of disability, it's not quite ringing true.

What sort of disability? Parents or child?

Dad is losing his sight and mum has a muscle wasting disease - they have a baby and social services are assessing them. No answer on whether the baby has inherited any conditions.

Is there a reason why the parents aren't rallying round, doing the washing etc so Tom can focus on caring for baby & mum? Did he insist they could manage?

Yes that's weird I thought and also where are the carers?

Good job they didn't come to check my parents out 50 years ago then. Both of my parents are blind and bought up 3 children perfectly well. In fact better than well.

Are there other problems?

I thought that. Even in today's climate ss would have put in some kind of care package.

I am shocked that there is no care package...oh wait! I think the dad keeps on refusing the help. sigh

Not sure slating their own parents is a great idea - surely family support is important?

I found it very moving

Having worked in this area - I wish the services pictured were as helpful for those parents with mental health or learning disability issues

Many of whom have their children removed who could cope given the right levels of support
