Feature film starring John Neillon Robert Bettles and Robyn Nevin
When 12-year-old Sean becomes seriously ill, his father decides that his every wish will be granted. The boy will also never know how ill he is. His wishes seem quite simple - dog of his own, to see his mother, and a visit to the fairground. His father can grant three wishes, but what about the fourth? Actor Michael Craig has written an extraordinary family drama and a film which has a moving and unexpected climax when The Queen visits Australia.

The third of six Forty Minutes documentaries, which follow the lives of six cancer sufferers over a period of nine months.
The patients have returned home after their two-day course at the Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Now they are faced with the daunting practical difficulties of putting theory into practice. One major problem is finding a doctor who will agree to prescribe the recommended vitamins and supplements. Outside the cushion of the National Health Service, the expense is heavy. Another problem is where to find in a big city the organically-grown fruit and vegetables needed for the diet. Some patients are able to cope better than others. In Cornwall, Lesley Honeyman immediately finds a pattern of support. In Birmingham, Chris Dakin soon feels she is well enough to return to work as PE teacher in a large girls' school. But Fred Shepherd's doctor in Halifax refuses to treat Fred along the Bristol centre's lines. In Bournemouth, Roger Haddock's doctor is also sceptical, and Roger becomes so ill during the centre's summer break that he has to go abroad to seek treatment in Germany.
