A series of six programmes presented by Jonathan Miller 1: Out of Sight - Out of Mind'It is a lonely life - you do feel very isolated,' says Gillian Rowell, who looks after her
32-year-old disabled daughter at home. Meanwhile, just up the road, her father Jack Stanley is caring for his wife who has Alzheimer's disease. Gillian and Jack are among the six million people in Britain who look after relatives or friends needing long-term care. Like most carers, they want to care, but they need help in order to go on coping.
So who cares for the carers? This programme shows how carers can get the information and support that's theirs by right. Film editor PETER RINGSTED Producer TONY MATTHEWS
