I found this on the BBC iPlayer the other day and was blown away with how compelling it was
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01rl708/Mark_Thomas_Bravo_Figaro/
It's essentially comedian/activist Mark Thomas talking about his relationship with his dad, an Alzheimer's sufferer and who very recently died. He pulls absolutely no punches but his passion, humour and sense of fair play make sure that it's nothing short of brilliant and the show builds to a very lovely if somewhat bizarre ending . I'm not Thomas's biggest fan although respect him hugely for actually living by his principles and being the real McCoy rather than pseuds such as that Palace-loving Izzard. His self-deprecation is very refreshing too. Seriously, give it a listen. I don't think you'll regret it.
