Pat Ingoldsby was an eccentric Irish television presenter best known for his children's programmes in the 1980s, including ''Pat's Hat
, Pat's Pals
and Pat's Chat''. He had the first of several nervous breakdowns in the 1960s. Featuring interviews with Ingoldsby's family as well as a select number of additional interviewees, the documentary builds a portrait of Ingoldsby in his own words, in conversation and verse. The film chronicles Ingoldsby's "descent into mental illness", which is twinned with his own sense of being out of place, a feeling that was ultimately conquered by
Gestalt Therapy; "that vocal offshoot of psychoanalytic practice". Until the documentary, Ingoldsby had not been interviewed on camera since 1993's
Between Stations. Ingoldsby ultimately credits Gestalt therapy with breaking his cycle of psychiatric care and helping him to become a more "healthy, well-rounded, balanced person." ==Release==
