- Title: Me And My Mum
- Date: 27th March 2006
- Description:Part of the Trouble With Old People week,this documentary shows a never-been-seen side to popular Channel 4 presenter Tony Robinson as he authors this provocative film about how we treat old people in Britain. Tony investigates the options for old people who need care whilst battling with the emotions arising from having had his own mum,Phyllis,put in a home recently and having lost his dad to Alzheimer's ten years ago. Tony is honest and passionate about the subject matter and makes a clear point that old people are systematically ignored by society. Whilst money is poured into children,old people are left with very few options and certainly very little hope of being happy in their last few years of life. Despite the death of his mother at the end of the programme,Tony says this film is not about her,it is about the lack of care and consideration our country has for the elderly and that this cannot go on. Produced and Directed by: David DeHaney Narrated by: Tony Robinson
