| Quote: | Starring David Tennant andSarah Parish
Alan and Tricia Hamilton are very happy. He's the head of a building firm and on top of his game. She's a part-time beautician and mother to their two sons. One day their perfect, if unremarkable, life is torn apart when a last-minute decision to pop out for a quick drink with a colleague sees Alan step out in front of a passing car. The resulting accident leaves him in a deep coma but with remarkably few physical injuries. Desperately worried about him, Tricia is delighted when he comes round - only to discover that the man she loved has disappeared. His behaviour's changed, he's lost all of his inhibitions and he veers from angry and frustrated to vulnerable and childlike. Simple tasks like making toast and getting dressed are beyond him, he's unable to hold down the job he loves and he plays and laughs with his sons as if he's a child. Alan's behaviour puts his relationship with Tricia under intolerable pressure. She longs to find the husband she loves in there somewhere - but fears she may have lost him forever |
I thought it was brilliant. Fantastically written and great acting, Tennant did an amazing job as always. Did anyone else catch it when it aired, or 'acquired' a copy elsewhere? |

| I'm not sure exactly when it aired in the UK *goes to check* According to D-T.com, it aired in February 2006, but I don't remember it being that long ago |

I don't think it's on DVD, and I have no idea if it will air in Australia or the US. It should though, it's brilliant. You can download it though. It took me forever to find it, but I'll see if I can find the link.
EDIT: I got it from demonoid.com, but the site is currently down  The torrent file might still work though, if you want I can email it to you |

| I managed to get "Learners" from someone from England and I've asked them if perchance they may have a copy....."Learners" was good but "Secret Smile" was better....kinda creepy but ok |

| I must watch Secret Smile again, and buy a copy of Learners. I was going to download it, but my internet sucks and I prefer to buy stuff if I can. |
