Presented by Jane Franchi Richard Bonthrone is 10 years old but he has the brain of a 6-month-old baby.
Just days after his whooping cough vaccine at 4 months old, he started having convulsions. Since then he's changed only physically. He is utterly helpless.
His parents, John and Iris refused to put him in a home and forget about him.
Richard lives with them and his two brothers, John William and Frazer, at Embo in Sutherland. For a week a BBC crew lived with them too. They learned a little about the problems and a great deal about love, in this story of what the Bonthrones will do for the love of Richard. PSC cameraman KEN GOW Producer SANDY CHISHOLM
