The Visit

on BBC One London

with Desmond Wilcox

We take visiting for granted, but some journeys are significant, even dramatic.
Jemima is 12, loving and loved - but her parents only see her every other Sunday. Jemima is in a home for the mentally handicapped. Her parents didn't want to surrender her care to others and for ten years they coped. But now they have two younger children, one is a baby. All of them visit - and it doesn't always work out well. Nevertheless, for Jemima's parents Lyn and Lesley Brooke, the visit is still very special - although it can be a day of despair or joy. They don't know how they may be judged by viewers. All they say is: 'How would you handle it?'
