I also watched the programmes sandwiched around it about the journalist and television presenter Ray Gosling. Very sad how he also became homeless.
Great television for a change.

Very moving documentary, things were different then the nanny state has swung to far the other way now. Ray Gosling was a very good tv presenter, the program was very well done, the piece I liked the most was his attempts to hold on to his teasured manuscripts, when Notingham University stepted in at the eleventh hour was like the cavalry appearing. Getting back on thread children should never have to suffer as Cathy's did ever again, what was allowed to develop was a disgrace, and has no place in the 21st century.
