Just Some Stories for Eleanor (1990x1)

Air date: Feb 19, 1990

A new strand of contemporary documentaries opens with Ian Taylor's moving film about Stephen Pegg and his fight against Motor Neurone Disease. The crippling, degenerative illness, which struck out of the blue in 1987, has robbed the former teacher and football referee of the use of his limbs and voice, but his small daughter provided the inspiration for the writing - with a pointer attached to his forehead, which has now become a central point of Stephen's life.
