CEEFAX 1 593 Wed 29 Dec 13:09/14 3/3 ******** *************** Wednesday ** *** *************** December 29 *************************************** LOST FOR WORDS ITV 2100-2230 Acclaimed and award-winning drama, this one-off deservedly gets another airing.
Based on the writer Deric Longden's true experiences, it's the story of Deric (Pete Postlethwaite) caring for his aging mother (Thora Hird).
What works about this is the acuteness of the observation, the way it's spotted things we thought were unique to ourselves and our own families.
It's perhaps more a collection of those events than it is a story but it's charming, funny and upsetting.
