Is anyone watching this? Can't believe it has been made tbh, blatantly treating the disabled as a freakshow.

Err I.mean people with disabilities, am too outraged to use correct terminology

I am! apparently its a very sweet film with a silly title.

BerryCheesecake · 03/04/2012 21:07

I am watching too... Not sure how they are going to portray everyone so will wait and see!

viagrafalls · 03/04/2012 21:08

I think the word is 'inflammatory'

My 10 yr old just said the same OP.

Such a crass title.

TheSinglePringle · 03/04/2012 21:09

I am watching

I really am not usually offended by things on TV but this whole thing is just distasteful

It is a really unfortunate title and its a real shame as its actually supposed to be a really sensitively made film. So far I am impressed with the actual content but still disappointed by the title

If they do find partners and are happy I will be slightly mollified, I admit Wink

i guess it's making you watch though so does its job there

whenskiesaregrey · 03/04/2012 21:13

I think they have tried to use 'The Inbetweeners' as a model for the title, but I agree, it isn't the best.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/04/2012 21:13

Yes, I am a hypocrite :)

I'm enjoying it so far. So impressed with Tourettes Luke being a stand up comic.

The guy featured who is on a dating site, is his mum the M&S Classic Collection model?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/04/2012 21:18

CH4 are normally quite sensitive so let's hope they redeem themselves

OP posts:
LottieJenkins · 03/04/2012 21:18

I am watching. I have all this to come with Wilf. I agree re the title.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/04/2012 21:19

Lottie, yes, I am hoping its really the 'dateables' to challenge peoples preconceptions

Richard is so sweet.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/04/2012 21:25

Not so far though, it's more like 'laugh at the man with Aspergers and his unusual mannerisms' :(

OP posts:
StuckUpTheFezziwigTree · 03/04/2012 21:26

What is the guy's condition, the one with his mum - Richard?

LottieJenkins · 03/04/2012 21:29

Richard has aspergers.

nogastoday · 03/04/2012 21:29

Richard has asbergers I think.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/04/2012 21:29
