Ferguson said: “Losing my memory was my biggest fear when I suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2018. In the making of this film I was able to revisit the most important moments of my life, good and bad.

"Having my son Jason direct this film has ensured an honest and intimate account.”

He then stated at a Q&A for his upcoming documentary film: "I lost my voice, just could not get a word out, and that was terrifying – absolutely terrifying.

“And everything was going through my mind: is my memory going to come back?  Am I ever going to speak again?

"There were five brain haemorrhages that day. Three died. Two survived. You know you are lucky.

"It was a beautiful day, I remember that. I wondered how many sunny days I would ever see again. I found that difficult."
