Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC FourLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland

Available for years

It is 2019, but in Cyrus’s confused mind it could be London 2011, and there are riots outside the house. Dementia forces his memories to fragment, bringing back painful incidents from his early life in England as well as reinforcing his feelings for his family and his love for Eunice. His relations with his son Kev still seem problematic. There is one shocking revelation that is too much for him, however, and that he will do anything to avoid. As we come full circle from Cyrus’s arrival in London decades earlier, he balances sober reflection with his trademark humour as, in the midst of his confusion, he contemplates whether life in England has been worth everything.
