A Word - Series 3 The a Word S3

All six episodes from the third series of the BBC drama about a family adjusting to life with their autistic son. At first Alison and Paul Hughes (Morven Christie and Lee Ingleby) are in denial about the unusual behaviour displayed by their five-year-old son Joe (Max Vento). But his grandfather Maurice (Christopher Eccleston) forces the pair to confront reality when he discovers Joe has autism.

The family try as best they can to cope with the life-changing revelation but find themselves fighting over their intentions for Joe. In this series, Joe, now ten-years-old, struggles to come to terms with his parents' divorce as he is forced to live between two households miles apart.
