TV Review: David Puttnam is an inspiration in a cynical age — and he's fallen for West Cork

When Oscar-winning director David Puttnam told his wife Patsy he’d bought them a holiday home in a country beginning with I, she got very excited. “Italy,” she said. “Ireland,” he replied. She asked him if he was insane.
Patsy grew to love their new place in Skibbereen and now spends more time there than her husband. Their story meanders enjoyably like the River Ilen on their doorstep in David Puttnam: The Long Way Home (RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.)
