Extraordinary Measures tells the story of a fathers drive to help an idealistic old scientist perfect a drug to help his two severely disabled children.

It is with some finality and a collective sigh of relief that the nation can tonight be thankful that Gordon Brown has finally conceded that defeat in the General Election was not something he could deny in some vain attempt at being like the Robert Mugabe of Western Politics.
