Disability within British drama

TV Drama Representation of Disability

Within this clip, an ex military soldier who has returned from duty, most probably from an explosive has returned to home county expecting life to continue as normal. This isn’t the case as he realises his facial disabilities are an issue for most people.
Within the clip camera shots are normally zoomed, including lots of close ups and at some points extreme close-ups.
There are also two sides to the clip. At the beginning of the clip you can see the fact that the main character (Nick) tries to carry on as before he left for duty asking for his old job back. He then finds out his place has been taken and the over nice treatment of his boss maybe there to show he isn’t wanted back. After seeing a neighbour and friend in need and going to help, the woman (Dee) changes his thought of mind. She tries to defend her reasons for screaming at the sight of his face to no avail.
The change in mood is fully shown once speaking to the sergeant. Whereby he is angry at the world, primarily the army as he feels hard done by. When people think of disability they normally think of a physical disability and in the case of nick as it is “only” a facial disability he was told his life would resume as normal, which is never the case.
