@WorraLiberty it's very clever, showing lots of aspects of life with disability

sashagabadon · 19/07/2021 18:41

Yes, it’s v good.

CMOTDibbler · 19/07/2021 18:43

Just like C4s previous paralympic promo, it is farkin awesome and focusses on the athletes as just that - athletes who train extremely hard and give everything for sport. Trailer here

SoddingWeddings · 19/07/2021 18:45

Here you go!

NiceGerbil · 19/07/2021 18:45

Thanks for the link @SoddingWeddings

Akire · 19/07/2021 18:51

Yes loved it. Much more blood puke and guts less of the super human Paralympic!

Luckystar1 · 19/07/2021 18:51

Wow!! That’s amazing!

CagneyNYPD · 19/07/2021 18:52

Brilliant. Absolutely marvellous.

Akire · 19/07/2021 18:54

As a wheelchair user particularly liked the cafe step and Fucks sake part. You can win gold for your country and still not get in a shop in your town.

TheAwfuITruth · 19/07/2021 18:55

Fab!

LublinToDublin · 19/07/2021 18:56

Agree it's brilliant and very powerful.
Love the grittiness - blood sweat and tears!
And the slap in the face reality of inaccessible places day to day.

BettyBooper · 19/07/2021 18:56

So good!

Mrsjayy · 19/07/2021 19:00

Last Paralympics it was all about the super human which of course was problematic I'm glad ch4 listened and changed it. I really like the trailer.

Yep, me too.
toocold54 · 19/07/2021 19:01

Yes I love it!!

N0RKS · 19/07/2021 19:02

AWESOME

I have NO interest in the olympics, but the paralympics have everything going on.
Super. Humans

This is utterly crap, and I am sorry.
Snapespeare · 19/07/2021 19:06

C4 has form for excellent paralympics trailers. This one is fabulous - how the word 'super' is obliterated at the end, leaving the word 'human' and how it doesn't shy away from showing bodies that would not be traditionally thought of as perfect by showing scarring and missing bits.

I also enjoy the 'there must be something wrong with you' as it shows the dedication needed to be an elite para sportsperson which sits alongside people asking disabled people 'what's wrong with you?' Like it's their business.

The red and blue balls and the bruise? Gorgeous.

Missing your daughters birthday, because you're training?

The wheelchair, the kerb and 'fuckssake'

Well done C4. Come on Team GB.

Binglebong · 19/07/2021 19:09

Awesome! And surprisingly moving - I have tears.

Also revolting in places.
