Disabled terrorists on TV
- 11 Aug 04, 12:00 AM
Broadcast, the weekly media industry journal, is reporting that Channel 4 have just commissioned an intriguing drama with disability at its heart.
Made by IWC Media, it is described as a "one-off drama about an ME sufferer and a wheelchair-bound war film fanatic with multiple sclerosis who get together to perform a terrorist act."
It stars Ewan Bremner (Trainspotting). And yes, we've noted the badly written description (sufferer bound). Let's hope the film is a bit more clued up than the person who wrote the synopsis.
What with cinema releases such as this week's After Life and October's , plus Paralympics TV and radio coverage and a whole slew of 主播大秀 documentaries on disability in September ... it's like the whole world is going to be cripple-shaped this Autumn.
