Description:

Bestselling author, Terry Pratchett, is 60 years old and has recently been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease - but he's not going to take it lying down. He wants Alzheimer's to be sorry that it ever caught him.

As part of BBC TWO's documentary strand focusing on mental health and wellbeing subjects, BBC Headroom, where high-profile personalities tackle a subject matter of personal importance to them - we join Terry Pratchett as he journeys into his uncertain future living with Alzheimer's - a world ultimately without words.

Having sold almost 60 million books worldwide, Terry is a man whose imagination is in constant overdrive. The prospect of living without memories or words frightens him.

"I used to be a high speed touch typist. I laughed in the face of the spell checker. But then one day last year, it all started to go wrong."


The first film begins in early 2008 soon after Terry's diagnosis. As he battles with tying his tie and struggles to cope at a public reading of his new book, he explicitly discusses his anger at being diagnosed with an illness for which there remains no cure. The film follows Terry as he tackles the disease head on, tries out some alternative treatments, and confronts leading scientists about how close they are to 'the secret cure, bubbling in a cauldron.'

[…]

In the second film, Terry contemplates his future and the difficulty of facing the inevitable 'end game.' Terry travels across the pond to learn, first hand, how Americans are dealing with the 'tsunami of Alzheimer's' that is threatening their health care to find out if they are closer to beating the disease.
