I also watched last night. I thought it was great - funny in places, very moving in others. Good for Neil - he's a diamond. Unbelievable what can be achieved by having no agenda and asking people if they will do things. BAFTAs to follow, I hope.
Sorry I thought the program was called Marvellous BBC2! Cheque please!

I employed Neil Baldwin for 3years. He is a great character. Well represented in this show.

I'm not normally a tv or film person and struggle to watch any film to the end, but this was captivating and thoroughly enjoyed it.
What a great bloke, his inspiration was awe inspiring, what a great watch.

And to think some on here have used derogatory language when talking about people with a learning disabilities.

Lou Macari what an absolutely top bloke.
Think he should get some sort of recognition for what he did for Neil.

I have just watched it. Absolutely brilliant - very emotional and very funny too. Please make time to watch. Life affirming.

Why did you leave him in the field alone?

Not a lot to tell. He was a casual glass collector. Sometimes (VERY much SOME times) he worked. Most often he talked. Remembered by everyone who met him. Artful bugger but his disability means he is entirely without (malicious) guile which is unbelievably refreshing.
