Stars Organisation for Spastics


Stage, film and TV favourites, the English actors Michele Dotrice, Sylvia Syms, and Gerald Flood visit a residential care home for disabled adults in Wakes Colne near Colchester in Essex. The stars, all successful in their field, chat to patients and speak to Anglia TV about their involvement with the charity S.O.S. – 'Stars Organisation for Spastics' and the difference it can make to centres such as the ones they visit.
