that marrriage programme last night

[ocd]

dh said" lets watch it"

so i settled down with my supper and a glass of wine

dh skulked off to pc

left me HOLWING att he tv

god it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo poingnat - the downs syndrome gal, the cjd guy
so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

oh come on it was Great
someoen MUt have seen it

i saw it, it was quite sad - not many left married

My dh was howling with laughter at the Grant Mitchellesque guy. The one who got married at 17, looked like she was now going out with a relation of Jimmy Saville. Was sad - especially the CJD guy.

did oyu not HOWL sea?

I saw it and cried through the hysterctomy woman and the CJD guy. I loved the grant mitchell guy he was so fab. my fav bit was at teh end when the said the 81 year old chick had not plans ot marry again - priceless

I thought it was a lovely programme. Had a tear in the eye about the CJD guy, but loved the bloke (with the DS daughter) who said he didn't think he'd been in love when he got married but he definitely was now. And he was so positive about their baby girl when she was diagnosed and his wife was rejecting her. Oh, he was great.

Such a simple programme, but really touching.

Yes the bit about the 81 yr old not marrying again was hilarious.

Apparently Honey & Billy are going to be having a baby girl with Downs.

i did think it was sad, the poor woman with the ectopic pregnancy was i didn't really like the couple who had no children though she seemed really bolshy

i hope they do more 'cutting edge' they were great programmes.

I thought it was sad too, especially the CJD guy.

I only saw the last 15 mins but thought it was excellent - v sad about the CJD guy, they had obviously been so happy together. And love that the older couple had 19 years together, good on them.

Lovely programme - very touching and thought provoking
"Where will we all be in twenty years time?"

Is anyone watching the Seduction one on thursday - looks a bit like Would Like To Meet... ?

I loved it too, I too cried.

I thought it was a very good programme too. I'd be happy to see more documentaries about normal people, proving that we don't have to be titillated by the promise of observing freaks and sex-related stuff for good viewing.

Message withdrawn

i cried too and was and at the lady who's suffered an ectopic having to have a hysterectomy

sorry, emoticon overuse

thought it was so well done - marriages spoke for themselves rather than some annoying voiceover and like dthe fact that it was all those pictured on one day so self-selected not picked out for freakiness by some cynical ratings-chasing editor!
felt so sorRY esp for woman who'd delayed having kids (till ripe old age of 27!) only to get pregnant and after an ectopic, require a hysterectomy, so ...

ocd - dh and I were both howling (well, lumps in throat and tears in eyes anyway). We are so soft since having kids .

Hang on...ocd = cod???

First post didn't have any typos though - how confusing is that?????

is 'holwing' actually a word then bonym

Was wondering all the way through whether they'd mention an ipdate on the eldery couple. when at the end they caught up with the 81 yr old then I started crying.

Interesting programme- love things like that- great wedding dresses !!!

19 out of 20 got married in a church , the girls seemed so young aswell !!

How times change !!

Oh God ocd-I watched it and am still v hormonal (just had ectopic) The hysterectomy woman did for me. I was absolutely sobbing for about an hour.
And then the CJD man. She was so calm and lovely and accepting of her lot. It humbled me and saddened me beyond belief.
It was fantastic television!
