did anyone watch this prog last night? had me in tears at the end.

what a bloody inspiration he was, and a lovelt guy to boot.

when talking about his disorder he mentioned about friction causing his skin to literally fall off and he said "so thats constant wanking out of the window". then he put his hat on with his stumpy hands and it fell off, he looked at it for a while and then simply said "cunt".

it was good to see a person so disabled and obviously dying to be in such good humour. a pretty heartbreaking prog to watch but it made me think "hell i only have arthritis, be thankfull thats all youve got".

I watched it, It made me see things in perspective..............be lucky for what health you've got and be thankfull for who you are.

He was definately an inspiration.

I flicked over and it was near the end - it looked like he'd died on a train.
Poor bloke.

Yes i watched it and felt exactly the same Anthill he did die on the train returning from a meeting at #10 with cheri blair smiff but he would have been happy because that was one of the main things he wanted to do because ultimately it would get the Charity more money. :)

I watched part of it and it was disturbing. The guy was a top bloke considering what he had to put up with. He had real personality and it was very somber, listening to him making arrangements for his own funeral.

It certainly does put things in perspective.

i Doubt Itll Be On E4, They Dont Usually Show Documentries (Hence The Name Entertainment 4)

However, C4 Usually Repeat Their Popular Documentries A Couple Of Months Later At Around 11 Or So, So Keep Your Eyes Peeled
