Having read "Diana's Story" and "Lost for Words", both by Deric Longden, plus some of his cat books, I was eager to see "Wide-Eyed and Legless", the TV film made from those two books, but had to order it from the US, under the title "The Wedding Gift". I didn't really get the change of title until I gave it some thought, and then from watching the film it was obvious why they chose this title. (Presumably copyright problems with Andy Fairweather-Low's song?)
Anyway, I was in floods of tears by the time Diana bravely made herself walk down the aisle at her son's wedding, and by the time it came to the bathroom scene I could hardly breathe.
Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters make a good fist of their respective roles as Deric and Diana, supported by an excellent cast, and of course some superb writing by both Deric and Jack Rosenthal (a seasoned British dramatist).
