One Pair of Eyes

Season 2 Episode 2: Simon Trehearne: An Independent Life

Because of an accident during his birth Simon Trehearne is mentally handicapped. But he lives and works in the community, sharing a house with a handicapped friend; he believes passionately that people like himself can and should lead independent lives. Simon is in charge of the boiler at a furniture factory near Stourbridge in the West Midlands. He's an enthusiastic traveller - usually on his bicycle, a CB radio enthusiast, and has helped restore the local canal. He is also concerned with those less able or fortunate than himself, a concern that lands him momentarily in an awkward situation with the neighbours.
