Horace(1982)

Horace is a British television series that broke ground as one of the first mainstream UK dramas to centre on a protagonist with a learning disability. The show follows Horace, a man whose everyday life and simple pleasures—like fish and chips for tea—form the heart of the narrative. Rather than treating disability as a plot device, Horace presents an authentic portrait of his world, relationships, and daily experiences. The series marked a significant moment in British television history, offering representation that was rare for its time and approaching its subject matter with genuine humanity and warmth.
