Living with Alzheimer's

Sir Terry Pratchett's books have sold more than 65 million copies across the world and been translated into 37 languages. His latest novel proved a much harder task to complete. He'd begun writing 'Unseen Academicals' when he learned that he had Alzheimer's.

In a BBC Two documentary which was broadcast in February this year called 'Terry Pratchett: Living with Alzheimer's' he explained the practical problems he faces with the disease.
