| Annotation | The depiction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the cinema and even on the radio can be a catalyst to increasing our understanding of the condition. This article comments on film portrayals by Dame Judi Dench (of Iris Murdoch) in 'Iris' and by Julie Christie as Fiona in 'Away from Her'. The Radio 4 soap opera 'The Archers' has also been featuring in its storyline the diagnosis and development of dementia and its effects on Jack Woolley and his relationship with family members.
