My dad used to love reading and watching films but can no longer concentrate or understand but he always loved the railway and i so bought him a DVD which was a drivers eye view from the cab of a train journey he knew well. The journey only takes about half an hour going from his home station to to another station he knows from his younger days. To most people it's as boring as can be but it's the best thing i ever bought him and he has watched the DVD over and over again, it has no narrative, no music it is simply a realtime recording of the train journey (including going through tunnels! very bizarre!!). Everytime i visit he gets the DVD out to show me and we watch it together. I am now thinking of making a video of my journey to work so that he can see where i go everyday. he can't remember where i work but as i go by train i thought he might enjoy it. Not sure if i am allowed to post links but if anyone wants to know where i bought the dvds from i will post a link
