The Wedding Gift Julie Walters PT 2

The Wedding Gift (1994) This BBC TV is based on the true story of Deric and Diana Longden, who were faced with the debilitating symptoms of what was at the time undefined Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, with Diana a paralytic who has blackouts. The trap in dramatising this kind of tale is allowing the proceedings to get either too maudlin or too icky sweet uplifting. Starring: Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent Director: Richard Loncraine
