Colin Welland makes his return to writing for television since the success of his Chariots of Fire screenplay in 1981. Welland, who made his name as a writer in the heyday of The Wednesday Play, based this film on the true story of a woman's fight to adopt a Third World child after finding she cannot have a baby of her own. Its showing coincides with the Year of the Family.
Julie Walters makes her second Screen One appearance in the last 12 months (having starred last year in Wide Eyed and Legless) as Alice, a wealthy widow whose luxurious life in France is no compensation for childlessness. Walters is joined by Georges Corraface , who played the title role in 1992's ill-fated Christopher Columbus: the Discovery, as her new partner Jean-Paul. Edward Bennett , who made last year's infertility drama You, Me and It, directs.
Producer Kenith Trodd
