PICK OF THE DAY
THE TROUBLE WITH DAD, 9PM, CH4
THE comedian David Baddiel made a stand-up show about his elderly father’s condition, but, as this extraordinary film shows, it’s no laughing matter. And that’s because his 82-year-old dad, Colin, has a rare form of dementia, which makes him prone to extreme outbursts of swearing, aggression and sexual inappropriateness. Filmed over the course of a year, this intimate, deeply moving Cutting Edge documentary charts David and elder brother Ivor’s attempts to care for their dad in the aftermath of theirth mum mum’s de death.
