A critically acclaimed film in which disabled people talk about their role in 20th Century Britain is a three-part series: 1914-1944; 1945-1970, and 1970 to Present. The most radical presentation of the history of disablement yet. The programme's promotion is true! Breaking many rules of the grammar of TV, archive pulsing on faces and bodies, close-up on impairment, confrontation to camera, the programme is truly innovative in its exposure of the stigma of disability. 'This is a gripping piece of social history that tells us more about how society used to be than many a mainstream history programme. This is oral history in the best traditions of the BBC.' - Poly Toynbee, The Radio Times 'When next year's Baftas come around, I hope to see this programme heading the nominations, not just for ´best this´ or ´best that´ but for making television utterly worthwhile.' - Gerard O'Donovan, The Sunday Telegraph
