Forty Minutes: Demelza's Baby

on BBC Two England

Forty Minutes... of documentary.
Demelza's life revolved around the shores and moors of her native Cornwall. Her music and her lover meant everything. But the security of her little world was threatened by an event which would change her life for ever. She became pregnant. The circumstances were unusual, the months that followed extraordinary, while the next two decades are bound to bring problems few parents will ever have to face. There will be awkward questions to be asked and answered, roles to be defined and a child to be raised in the closeness of a peninsula community, which may choose to condemn, if it does not condone. Demelza's lover has stood by her through every trial. Theirs is one of the most unusual of relationships and fascinating of love stories.
