I've been keeping a video diary about what it's like to be living in lockdown while living with dementia. Last Wednesday, some of the footage formed a part of a documentary that was aired on Channel 4. I am proud to have played a small in this excellent production. It would have been great if they could have found room to include my comments about the good work that the Alzheimer's Society do and the support they have given me, but I understand the difficult choices they had to make to fit so many compelling stories into a single, one hour documentary. The team who made the documentary were all very professional and supportive; a delight to work with actually, and I miss the routine of recording my thoughts and feelings to camera somewhat.
The documentary is still available to watch on Channel 4's catch-up TV Channel at the moment. Just visit this page: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/old-alone-and-stuck-at-home
