The best of men

[hugoagogo]

Wasn't it terrific?

I cried a wee bit.

It was interesting.
I had no idea the Paralympics started that way.

Brilliant- what a great man

It was fab :) really fantasticy done

Oh lovely I thought for bit there I was the only one watching it.

Lovely young man playing William and Rob Brydon never fails to please.

Although I really enjoyed it; I think the reality of it must have been even tougher than they showed.

Was it a repeat? I'm sure my parents told me about it at the weekend, maybe that was a Channel 4 prog instead. Anyway, it's going on the iPlayer.

Fabulous programme.

Really enjoyed it.

It was fabulous, heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Fantastic cast too.

Yes we loved it too- the 90 mins went far too quickly.

I loved Dr Guttman, what an incredible man.

Some of it was just jaw droppingly awful - what they had to go through, not the programme/acting. I liked the end where they showed footage of Paralympic games right up to present times. It showed just how far things have come.

Brilliant programme. Its hard to remember that turning patients was a huge revelation in preventing bedsores

I loved it, I welled up at the end when they showed the Paralympic competitors

We loved it too. So excited we are going to multiple events in the Paralympics.

Me and DH watched it last night. What a fantastic piece of television. Even DD enjoyed it once she stopped seeing the hugely talented Rob Brydon as Uncle Bryn.

Ditto all the above. Loved it.

Sounds good! I better has see this before iplayer ditches it.

Caught it on the iplayer 2 days back.
I thought it was one of the best things I have seen on the tellybox all year.
I thought Eddie Marsan shone as Dr Ludwig Guttmann.
Yes I blubbed once or twice.

I only just got round to watching this and was really blown away. I gasped and sobbed my heart out at the end when they flicked to real footage, what a great ending.

I was telling dd(8) about it today (she has CP) and she said "so, i would have been left in bed forever in those days would I?" and I just can't stop thinking about it.

it was amazing. i too cried at the end, and was completely glued to my seat. highly recommended

started watching it having no idea what it was or what it was about. Fantastic, really enjoyed it. Educational, interesting and very moving.
