I cringed at first but now I love it. I'm gutted it's finished. Any comments?

Hate it. Why anyone would go on there is beyond me. Anything to be on TV.

Hate it. I shut my eyes when I'm flicking through the channels in case I'm faced with some mans crusty dingleberries

I used to agree, but I can't miss it now. Ok - there's an element of "anything to be on telly" about it but some of those conditions are mind-blowing! I can't help feeling sorry for some of those people and what they've been putting up with. Am I strange?

Never watched it.

I gathered it was a programme about embarrassng medical conditions - like piles, herpes, - and, somehow, have never been in the least bit tempted to look at it!

Perhaps I'm odd?

I do love it, but have to watch it from behind a cushion in case they show anything too gross

It can get embarrassing. I work ina Gym every Friday evening and one of the TV screens somehow is always on channel 4. I usually have to quickly change the channel when the Vaginas come on and about 30 Gym members are all facing the screen whilst exercising on the machines.

Agh, can't stand it. IT'S THE SAME EVERY WEEK; "oh her's Mrs X and there's something wrong with her arsehole, let's have a closer look"

However, I do feel sorry for the people when their GP has basically said "there's nothing we can do" and then on the show they get sent to a Specialist who sorts it out straight away

I get that people might brave the embarrassment to get cosmetic procedures that they couldn't have on the NHS.

But to whip out your thrush-infested clunge on telly is very strange behaviour. Ever heard of Canesten, love?
