    There is every chance it will be repeated - check your TV guide - repeating programmes a few nights later seems to be a good way of filling up all these +channels .

    Oh dear, I did but have watched it and think have recorded over it already as I'd missed the very end so didn't think it worth keeping. Will check though. It was excellent and am sure it will be repeated.

    Could you tell me what happened? Better PM it as don't want to spoil for anyone else but it may not be on again for a while. I'm one of those dreadful people who always reads the end of a book first so it's really annoying to have missed it.

    The programme was called "After Thomas" and was made by Hartswood Films
    A fact sheet about the filming and interviews with cast and the real family that the film was based on can be found here -

    Its well worth a second viewing.
    We were impressed with the realism of the production.The acting was impressive and the wee boy appeared not to be acting, his performance of his type of autism was superb.
    This was a true story about a couple from Gourock so why Anglicise it.When they said at the end the boy passed 7Gcse,I counted to ten.
