Dad, Thursday
24 February, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE
Μύ
This year Comic Relief is launching a campaign to raise awareness of the issue of elder abuse in the UK.
Μύ
Elder abuse is the mistreatment or neglect of an older person perpetrated by someone that they trust.
Μύ
It is one of the most serious social problems facing the UK today and yet one of the least acknowledged.
Μύ
It is estimated that one in 10 elderly people in the UK will suffer from some form of abuse.
Μύ
For the first time in its history Comic Relief has used drama over documentary to convey the emotive and serious messages behind its grant work.
Μύ
The drama Dad tells the story of Larry, played by Richard Briers, a cheery independent man in his eighties, who has been caring single-handedly for his beloved wife Jean, played by Jean Heywood, who has Alzheimer's Disease.
Μύ
Following an accident Larry goes to live with his son, Oliver, played by Kevin Whately, and his wife Sandy, played by Sinead Cusack.
Μύ
Written by Lucy Gannon and directed by Sarah Harding.
