Care Worker
Filmed before the coronavirus crisis, Rhod Gilbert takes on one of his toughest challenges yet - being a carer. Even in more ordinary times, the work of carers is so valuable, if not always valued.
Filmed before the coronavirus crisis, Rhod Gilbert takes on one of his toughest challenges yet - being a carer. He discovers that, even in more ordinary times, the work of carers is so valuable, if not always valued.
It is an emotional journey for Rhod, but he finds that simply getting to know the people he is caring for is the key and there are plenty of laughs along the way. As well as the challenge of doing intimate personal care, he is nearly drowned by an octogenarian in a swimming pool and is upstaged for bawdy humour by a poet with Parkinson鈥檚. Rhod鈥檚 final task is to stage a talent show in a nursing home, and by the end there鈥檚 not a dry eye in the house.
