BBC Scotland - Next Big Thing, Series 2, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

A quirk of a catastrophic head injury, Paul lives in a perpetual loop of joke-telling.

Can Lindsay's love for husband Paul sustain her through the trauma of a brain injury which leaves him in a perpetual loop of joke-telling?

At first glance, Paul is always good for a laugh. He has a joke for every situation, or so it seems. A quirk of a catastrophic head injury, Paul's humour no longer impresses his wife, Lindsay.

Film-maker Hannah Currie asks where love goes once the jokes wear thin, with this Bafta Scotland award-winning film.
