Marvellous. BBC 2 last Thursday.

Well reviewed POGS. I totally agree with you and you have been much more eloquent than I could have been.

It was such a good story wasn't it. I wanted to tell all of it but that would spoil the viewing for anybody who wanted to give it a try.

We obviously have good taste.

We really enjoyed it too, POGS. A really inspiring (true) story. Very funny in parts, as well as quite poignant, especially where his mother was concerned. Loved it.

Yes, we thought it was a lovely story and made for a perfect evening's viewing. I think it was the simplicity of everything that made it so charming.

When the interview was taking place on the football pitch and he was in the background made me laugh so much. [ the kilt incident]

This was truly an inspiring programme and I loved it. Can't add much more to Pogs perfect description of it.

We were in tears of joy and sorrow. You didn't know what to expect!

Quite the best thing I have seen all year on TV.

Toby Jones should win an award for his brilliant portrayal of Neil Baldwin.

The scenes around when his Mum died just reduced me to an outpouring of tears.

Absolutely Marvellous.

Yep it was Marvellous ! British acting at it's best .

Fantastic drama, really well acted and produced.

Do you remember his Mum in the biopic (Gemma smoothing) in the 'Duchess of Duke Street' loved that too?

Just to say I have just caught an interview with Neil tonight on BBC 1 tonight.

Neil was happy with his new found 'celebrity status' and back at Keele signing up new students for his football team.

I wish more GN's had watched such a good piece of drama.

Not smoothing I meant something. Why does my IPad sometimes insist on suggesting and inserting the wrong word ?

Just watched it having taped it. Fantastic - both the acting and the real life man. Gemma Jones was his mum. Loved it.

I've kept the video as I think it is one to watch again at sometime. I love Neil's take on life about deciding to be happy.

Thanks KatyK of course Gemma Jones.

This was repeated tonight; I missed the first half but what I saw was wonderful. I think my son has sorted out my iplayer so I'm hoping I can watch the rest.

I enjoyed it immensely too.

I just watched this on iPlayer. I loved it. Made me cry.
