Disabled terrorists on TV

Broadcast, the weekly media industry journal, is reporting that Channel 4 have just commissioned an intriguing drama with disability at its heart.

Made by IWC Media, it is described as a "one-off drama about an ME sufferer and a wheelchair-bound war film fanatic with multiple sclerosis who get together to perform a terrorist act."

It stars Ewan Bremner (Trainspotting). And yes, we've noted the badly written description (sufferer bound). Let's hope the film is a bit more clued up than the person who wrote the synopsis.

What with cinema releases such as this week's After Life and October's Inside I'm Dancing, plus Paralympics TV and radio coverage and a whole slew of BBC documentaries on disability in September ... it's like the whole world is going to be cripple-shaped this Autumn.
