Amy Rosenthal's affectionate tribute to her dad reveals an unusual pact they made in 1993.

Inspired by the writer’s own experience of going to university and an unusual pact she made with her Dad. Stars Georgia Groome.

Amy Rosenthal's affectionate tribute to her father, Jack Rosenthal, inspired by an unusual pact they made when she - very reluctantly - went to university in 1993.

Amy's adapted two of the award-winner's dramas 'Eskimo Day' and 'Cold Enough for Snow' - looking at empty nest syndrome from the parents' point of view.  

She completes the trilogy with her drama looking at it - but, as she describes it, from the point of view of the bird!
