I just got done watching "Recovery" and I am CRYING my eyes out! This was one of the best acting preformances I've ever see! Tennant is awesome. Near the end when they were dancing and he was crying I thought for sure I was gonna end up dehydrated.

Well, I agree. I just wathced this and must say this was some brilliant drama! Reeeeallly amazing.
shareI have only seen it on youtube, and even so, it is one of the few times watching a TV show where not crying but actually *weeping* my little heart out summed up my reaction. I have NEVER cried that much, I don't think, in ANYTHING! And the scene you mention is just heartwrenchingly beautiful.
I really wish they would bring it out on DVD. Or at least repeat it. I'm gutted I didn't get someone to tape it for me.
Fantastic performances, esp from Sarah and David, (the way David immersed himself and simply became Alan is something incredible!) and their two boys I thought were brilliant too, some of the best acting I have seen from kids of those ages. And not a single weak link, IMO, even amongst the very smallest roles.
Just watched it on Youtube as well and I haven't cried that much since "Shadowlands"! I never thought Tennant would be better than anything I'd ever seen him in, but he was here. I love it when my favorite actors/actresses can still surprise me.
Sarah Parish was just fabulous too! Her performance was so real and honest. My best friend is dating a man with a brain injury and every time Tricia was struggling to hang on, I was thinking of her. I'm definitely going to become a fan of Ms. Parish if she is this good in everything!
I can't understand why it is not on DVD. I mean EVERYTHING is on DVD!! I know it would mean so much to my friend to see this, to feel she's not alone. What a pity.
