I was extremely pleased to see this production produced by BBC3. This was the first film that I have ever seen condensed into one hour showing what a terrible impact that epilepsy can have on the lives of sufferers and families alike. Very poignant feature showing how such an evil and uncontrollable illness can constantly disrupt people's lives.

Having suffered all my life from epilepsy it brought this illness to the forefront of people's minds.

Alas in the vast majority of cases only the sufferers and their families would have watched this programme.

Regards

Richard
