On his way to a town where a family will supposedly adopt This movie celebrates the classic trope of a blind sharpshooter, but it's a fun B western nevertheless. The adventures of a secret Agent armed with almost infinite scientific resourcefulness. Only season 6 and 7 fit into the category, but I recommend season 3. MacGyver, the character not necessarily the show, is awesome and season 3 is by far the best.

As a schoolchild, I was always asked what it was like to have parents who were blind. I had a stock response: To this day, I give a very wide berth to the talking scales that announce the user's weight to the entire household. I did have one major gripe, though: I would have loved us to have had a car. No school run for me. We always caught the bus, cycled or walked. We lived in a handsome, four-storey Victorian house in Kenilworth, a small, affluent town in Warwickshire.
My friends assumed that we children must have had lots of chores to do: How does your mother turn the cooker on? My mother had weekly hired help with the cleaning, but she still spent all day Friday in a whirlwind of scrubbing and polishing. The stair carpet would be swept at the edges before vacuuming; the entire basement floor would be scrubbed on hands and knees. Windows would be cleaned, lightbulbs changed - Mum thought nothing of skipping up a stepladder. There was the occasional painless task: And there was one almost daily chore that I hated, as it tended to clash with Grange Hill: My mum peeled the potatoes herself, but would worry that rogue "bad bits" would escape her probing fingers, and ask one of us children to check them over for her.
My mum cooked every night. She was an adventurous cook, always on the lookout for new meals in her Braille magazine to impress her dinner-party guests with. My dad could cook too, and I really looked forward to his fat chips when Mum was away. Every few years my mother did go away. She would leave for three weeks and return, fully trained up, with a canine addition to the family, a new guide dog. We all formed close bonds with these dogs and it was always very sad when one had to retire.
For years I harboured an ambition to be a guide-dog trainer when I grew up. People go weak at the knees when they see a guide dog. They would often stop, uninvited, to pat them, which, I would officiously inform them, was not allowed when the dog was in harness. Sometimes, I'd nag mum to leave the dog at home, anxious to avoid the relentless unwelcome attention.
On these occasions, I would do the guiding - considerably less well than the four-legged regular.

I had not been trained to swerve for overhanging objects, would fail to stop at kerbs and frequently omit to mention that we were about to step on an escalator. By the way, let me clear up a bizarre misconception of a childhood friend: Misty, Candy, Beauty et al definitely couldn't count the number of bus stops so as to be able to let their owner know when to get off. It's probably not an exaggeration to say that my parents were universally admired in our small town, only marginally less than their guide dogs.
One particular source of awe was the jobs they did. Until his retirement, Dad was a lecturer in history at Warwick University. He'd been an undergraduate at Edinburgh in , and then did a PhD at Oxford, before becoming a lecturer, and throughout his studies, he depended on people reading to him. Many of the readers came from the church at the end of the road - "Nobody volunteered, I just barged in and asked them," he says. A year into his studies, he acquired, through the generosity of others, a tape recorder, which was new technology at the time and revolutionised his studying - his readers could record material and Fred could listen, and relisten to it, as and when required.
Dad developed an extraordinary talent for listening to speeded-up tape readings to save time. As a girl, I would often lie in my bedroom, which was next door to his study, listening to the surreal sound of his readers' Pinky and Perky voices coming through the wall and wondering how he could possibly make out what they were saying. As for my mother, she not only cared for us with very little outside help, but also worked as an NHS physiotherapist for 34 years.
