Born to be Different

[SaguaroBlossom]

New programme on Channel 4, Tuesday at nine o'clock. Can't wait to see how they're all doing.

I'm looking forward to this too. My heart is always in my mouth when Shelby is ill though.

Me too, it's been a wonderful series & I'm looking forward to seeing how they are all getting on now.

Clashes with Happy Valley though. But I can't hear what's going on in that as the sound is so bad! Heart is always in mouth for Shelby and her indomitable mum.

Fantastic - thankyou for the heads up.

Such a good programme. I wonder how William is too, and his mum.

Shelby and Williams mums were on breakfast news this morning. Shelby isn't doing well unfortunately She needs alot of blood transfusions. I really admire all the participants, I don't think people have a clue what life with an ill child is like they both said they feel they are raising awareness.

Just talking about it in itv now.

Starting now

God even the trailer to this makes me well up. Amazing families.

I'm filling up over William. He's changed so much.

I'm watching and have watched ever since the beginning, I think I was pregnant with my oldest when the first series was shown.

William is such a charmer, what a smile on him.

Love this, and so pleased to see Shelby. I think she has touched so many hearts.

William is gorgeous.

I am watching, I've been following this since the start. I wonder which family decided not to take part this time.

Amazing children and parents. I'm sobbing. I've never seen this before.

Not all are featured this week.

Ah, my post disappeared! Think we're missing Emily, and the boy in New Zealand? Is she spelt Shelbie?

Gosh, Shelbie's brother is all grown up!

Can I watch a repeat of this anywhere? Only just realised that it's on. Tearing up already though...

Wonder why Nathan's family decided not to appear this series?

+1 on Sky?

We'll be watching it on 4+1 sweetpeas (when DS1 has gone to bed)

Just watching now, what amazing children and what amazing parents. Tears in my eyes.

I have a disabled child myself but Shelbie's situation absolutely breaks my heart. Her parents are absolutely amazing, especially her step-Dad who took on all that responsibility at such a young age and he clearly loves her like his own.

Amazing families. I wasn't going to watch as some of it is a bit close to home, but I'm glued.

I'm so glad the drug William needs has been approved for him!
