Review by petgor

Tony Doyle and Ger Ryan were both perfect for the series, though this is not to denigrate the other actors. A very well written story, with much care taken to give it credibility. The background and sets were carefully managed and gave it a great atmosphere. The family problems though extreme, were believable. Of the two main characters it is hard to say who was best at portraying their characters. Although background music often spoils a story, on this occasion it did enhance the story. Very moving. The slow deterioration of the father was very sad, and the stoicism of his wife were both very moving. I don't think that I was bored at any time.
