Man Alive

on BBC Two England

This week: A Kind of Living
It could happen to anyone. It has to 26 people at Danesbury Hospital. All of them once lived normal, active and healthy lives until illness or accident paralysed them. Most of them are still young. All know they will never get better; most know they can only get worse.
Diseases like multiple sclerosis destroy marriages, break up families, bring financial disaster. Yet despite the anger and resentment at the unfairness of it all, there is a mood of courage and tenacity - even optimism.
In this remarkable record of unforgettable people HAROLD Williamson talks to patients in Danesbury and to their families.
