I have just finished watching a TV movie that I recorded last week called To Olivia. It is a sad and yet very good film about Roald Dahl and his wife Patricia Neal and their life just before and just after their daughter Olivia died. Has anyone else seen it?

Yes i saw it at the weekend.

I enjoyed it - but made the mistake of reading the review in the paper after, which did spoil the film for me. Please dont read the review.

I read something Roald Dahl had written on it 24 years after Olivia died and he still had very strong words on the cause of Olivia’s death. I never read the review though. I love Roald Dahl’s books particularly Lambs For Slaughter which is a short story as well as Boy and Going Solo. They drew me to watch something based on Roald’s life.
