Lost For Words (UK-import)
Based on Deric Longden's bittersweet account of his beloved ageing mother's life, Lost for Words was produced for television in 1998. Starring Thora Hird as the indomitable, slightly eccentric Annie and Pete Postlethwaite as Deric, it's a poignant blend of sympathetic writing and the strong performances of its leading actors. The script is crammed with moments of wit and warm humour, generated by the relationship between the increasingly dependent Annie and her sometimes bemused but undaunted son.
