b'General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues\\n\\nAdditional content note: euthanasia/suicide\\n\\nI realised that maybe our positions aren\\u2019t that different after all. And I wondered if, in the moments that I manage to believe in hope, I seem as inspiring and na\\xefve as he does. It made me wonder if maybe the spark I see in him, that belief in people and ideas, if that isn\\u2019t also in me, despite my frequent feeling that it isn\\u2019t. If I might communicate that to other people regardless. If the world as humans know it lasts for long enough for me to reach a similar age as my dad, I wonder if I will be someone who frustrates and delights young people with my faith in them, whether I will still accept the possibility of hope and change?\\n\\nThis episode is about belief, hope and progress. It considers technological change, generational change, spiritual change and political change.\\n\\nArtwork by my brother Tony Pickering:\\xa0http://www.pick-art.co.uk/'
