Beti and David: Lost for Words


BBC One Network & BBC Wales

‘We need a revolution in dementia care’, says Beti George who cared for her late partner David Parry-Jones. Filmed over the course of many months, there is both laughter and tears in this moving, honest and hard-hitting film. It is a remarkable record of two people facing a terrible illness together.

‘…a moving portrait of love, loss and kindness. The more people that watch this profound film on the iPlayer the better.’ – The Daily Telegraph
