If you have to care for an elderly person who can't communicate with you, have you ever stopped to think what they might be feeling inside?

That's the question posed by a short film which has been made for the charities Help the Aged and Macmillan nurses.

It's a dramatisation of a poem written nearly 40 years ago by a nurse. And it's called - What do you see?

Friday's Breakfast talked to the actress Virginia McKenna, who stars in the film - and her granddaughter Lily Travers, who plays the young Virginia.

  • We have had a flood of enquiries about the film What do You See? It's not produced by the BBC - but you can obtain a copy by e-mailing its director Amanda Waring, through her website. Please remember, that the BBC is not responsible for external websites.
