Returning: The A Word

UK drama The A Word is returning to BBC First next month.

This will screen a week after its British premiere.

Starring Lee Ingleby, Morven Christie and Christopher Eccleston, the story follows Joe, 10, who is living in two places at once, processing the seismic change in his life through the filter of his autism. Alison and Paul are divorced and live 100 miles apart. Nicole has moved to London. Eddie lives with his dad. Rebecca is pregnant. Only Maurice is holding it together. A family is always a puzzle and this one needs piecing back together, albeit in a different shape.

Wednesday, May 13 at 8.30pm on BBC First.
