    i meant to watch it last time round but missed it. i am torn between watching it and not watching it as i think it will be heart wrenching.

    Oh that's good. I meant to watch it last time but I always forget to watch stuff on tv. I will definitely try my hardest to see it on Monday. There was a thread in this forum after it was on the first time & people seemed to think it was worth watching. So yes. If it upsets me even more then I'll just have to live :)

    Is this the update-I know there was supposed to be an update of how things have gone since the first show. I cried so much watching that-it really touched my heart and made me think.

    The thing that amazed me was that Johnny Kennedy(i think that's what the guy was called it in) his outlook on life was just so positive & optimistic even though he knew that he was going to die soon.

    It really makes you think hard that life is soo precious & you only have one so it's best to make the most of it.

    I shall not be watching this time unless i've got a shoulder to cry on.

    .:Crispy:.

    To be fair although the show isn't updated to include some great cure (as you point out he sadly passed after the television show was shown) this is an updated version of the program shown to mark the anniversery and will include updated content related to his death. rest in peace, a program no one should miss.

    yeh I know, I cried so much! I read in the tv mag it was an update to show how much money showing the tv show had raised etc-I guess a programme as powerful as it was would make a hell of a lot of people donate money.

    Sorry, can someone enlighten me on what this is about? A documentary on someone who lived skinless for some time?

    Half a million £ raised for Debra since the doc was made.

    Talk about promoting awareness but also the guilt trip attached to get you to part with your hard earned.

    I taped the show from last night and just watched it this afternoon.

    Thank you.

    It does sound sad, but I don't think I could have watched it anyhow... I'm disgusted even thinking about such things, and I don't like sadness anyway.

    I watched it and was nearly crying, it was very moving but I admire hoe well he coped with his illness.
