I always liked Duffy. Charlie is looking very old now, it's barely believable he's still working.
There have been a few 'good' dementia storylines on TV but the problem with all of them is the compressed timescale. It's always diagnosis to quick convenient death within months, whereas most of us on here know it is rarely like that. If my mother had that journey I would have considered us both very lucky, but we're more than five years on from diagnosis and two years into the care home. I realise audiences don't want to watch unending deterioration, but it always ends up sanitised.
