Harsh Phil... I've not done that face once yet.

It's a lesson to me... some people really can't help it.

yeh but the program is cheap thrills for the masses to make it socially acceptable to gawk at those different from the "norm". You may as well still go and visit Bedlam to look at the "nutters" for jollies.

It's just as bad as all the faux science documentaries on 5 that are the same sort of thing, you know " the boy with an arse for a face" 🙄

I don't really see the point of chicken kebab, well, not the one where it's all pressed together pieces. Just ends up too dry. S'ok if it's large chunks on a skewer but really, if you're going to have a kebab, then lamb shish is the only sensible choice imo. Although I do like a Dirty Doner now and then I must say. Can't beat a bit of elephant's leg sometimes. Seems a better option when you've had a few, more authentically [i]British[/i]. 🙂

I agree with Tazzy and the other fella that disapproved of watching these "medical" freakshows. Normally won't watch them for that very reason.
But the fat problems were fascinating!
I mean, that poor lady who had lost all the weight but ended up all floppy... then the op...and they made her boobs SQUARE! 😥

I wasn't making 'jokes' about kebabs; someone mentioned kebabs and I haddunt seen what they were referring to so my coments weren't related to what was on the screen at all. I only tuned in afterwards.

Darcy - are you being kept awake by those bloody neighbours?

Honestly though diet, bodyweight, psychology it all fascinates me. I love seeing people take hold of their lives and change the things that they want to and the things that they can. I love seeing people happy with what they are no matter how it fits with our perception of normality.

I feel tremendous sadness for the people that appear on embarrassing bodies (overweight, thin or average builds) that have medical conditions limiting their quality of life. Things that I can't believe haven't been treated, or it takes the intervention of the program to resolve... how many others are out there suffering similarly?

It is also true that I dispair slightly at people who complain about things they can fix but choose not too. But still... they fascinate me too... people are amazing.

Didn't see this programme so can't comment but have seen one in the past. I certainly felt uncomfortable watching that one and it featured a mixture of unpleasant conditions.

I can only presume that last night's reported on people who hadn't received any help from their GP?

Not everyone has the wherewithal (probably not the best word to use here) to question their GP. Having personally been on the receiving end of a dismissal by my GP, let alone the fact that I've put on 2 stone in weight in the last 18 months. I can fight my corner but many can't.

Don't judge people when you don't know the truth.

I think that is the over riding message from the show C_G.

One of the guys was completely failed by the health service... he must've been going to the Dr's and why they hadn't helped him earlier is truly shocking. Unbelievable infact.

Yes, you're absolutely right crazy-legs! Pot kettle black for me. 🙂

Truth be told I'm feeling sorry for myself, as well as angry with the medical profession. Just want my life back. 🙁

What a load of bloody nonsense. That show is put on Channel 4 for entertainment. We watch it for that, maybe there's a bit of education to be had, but for who? Not me, I don't think. So I watched it to go "Blimey look at that!" etc.
Then you chat about what you watched on TV. It's what people do and have done for yonks. People chat about stuff and make a few jokes on the side. It's what we do and have done for yonks. It doesn't mean we're laughing [i]at[/i] the people, who kindly demonstrated their medical problems for our entertainment, we're just chatting.
So get off your bloody high horse or whatever it is and choose another thread if you don't like it. Cheers.

[edit] In short - don't tell me what I can and can't make jokes about.
