| Footage description: | A booklet is available for reference use only. This is shelved with the reference DVD;In Moving on, we follow the progress of Cathy and Peter as they move into independence, learning how to cope with the world of work, relationships, and the supermarket. Cathy is 38; her parents, Moya and Michael, are now in their seventies and in poor health. Cathy is charming, quirky and very exuberant about her move into independence. Its impossible to predict whether she will manage the break, her first time away from Mum and Dad. Peter is 32, and until ten years ago, a paralympic goalie. He has the looks of a matinee idol, and has been looked after by Marianne, his 72 year old tapdancing mother. She is keen to have him move out and into independence so that she can get her own life back on track. His last try at living independently broke down and he is very eager to give it another go. |
