	Description:		When this week's castaway was a child his mother had a heart attack. Her doctor gave him two pieces of advice. "Never", he said, "get angry with her. And always try to make her laugh". This was to have a profound effect on his life; affecting both his career and his personal relationships. Gene Wilder talks to Sue Lawley and remembers his starring roles in films like Blazing Saddles and The Producers.
