The Guardian today has an obituary of Arnold Peters, the actor who has been playing a character in The Archers, the long-running radio serial, which I've been listening to on and off since childhood. The character, Jack Woolley, has had dementia for some years. So, apparently did Peters, who recorded his part in his care home from 2008 to 2011, thanks to the BBC - good on them. An inspiring story about how you can live a good life with dementia, and also how, like the BBC, we should all be trying to help people live creative lives with dementia.
