Did anyone watch this? It was on just before BB. Brilliant documentary, though quite tough to watch at times. The family in it were wonderful. I wish them all the very best for their future.

I wanted to but just couldn't tonight, I am going to watch it on catch up, Just seeing the end of it was enough to make me well up.
Yep, I shed a few tears too, Isadora, but it was a really hopeful ending.

It was a lovely ending and I am going to watch the whole thing at some point.
PeterCat, I knew someone just like Simon. He had the exact Brain damage as Simon, he now lives independently and takes care of himself. In his case he still has only short term memory and still lives with sever headaches and blared vision. Very sad indeed.
It's sad, Blue Diamond, but I do think it's great that someone who suffers such damage can recover to that extent. Years ago they would have been condemned to living in some kind of institution for the rest of their lives, I'm sure.
I've V+ it to watch later

The help and support for Brain injuries have come a long way and getting better.
I didn't see it but the bairn said it was "absolutely mint" which is high praise from her
I saw the last few minutes while waiting for UBB, and it made me cry - must try and watch it on

I watched it and was bawling by the end.His speech at his birthday had me in tears. What a lovely family, I really hope he goes on to gain more independence and acceptance of himself. Great programme.
I watched it. It was very good. Happy, sad, disturbing at times. His whole fascination with Spider the dog was an eye opener, because he seemed so transfixed on the dog for no apparent reason.
I think my favourite part of the documentary was when he and his friend visited the wall behind the club. It brought home how such a silly and careless decision (jumping a security fence) can lead to such dramatic change for a family.
