Anyone going to be watching this Thursday?

I saw the advert a couple of weeks ago and meant to Google the daughter. I thought she was Kate Winslet's daughter IRL as they look so alike. She is.

I love all "I Am" programmes. Although they are very deep and thought provoking.

Wasn't keen on the Suranne Jones one.

Yes - I've enjoyed all the previous ones so I'm looking forward to it.

Supersimkin2 · 07/12/2022 21:07

It's already on Catch Up before airing tonight!

A bit laboured so far. Just half an hour in.

holierthanthou73 · 08/12/2022 17:31

Thank you for the reminder, interested to see this tonight having seen the others

Watching it now on All4

The lad who plays Billy is also Kate Winslet's real life son!
I remember her being pregnant with him - how on earth is he grown up now??

Tirrrrred · 08/12/2022 20:29

I've not watched it yet.

Yes I'm watching it at 9. Looking forward to it. I enjoyed the others so hoping this is going to be good.

JamSandle · 08/12/2022 20:50

Yes! I've loved Kate since Heavenly Creatures. Will watch anything she does.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 08/12/2022 21:13

I’m watching.

AnyFucker · 08/12/2022 21:20

Watching now

PrincessScarlett · 08/12/2022 22:01

Having a daughter myself, this is a very hard watch 😢

QueueEtwo · 08/12/2022 22:03

Watching too!

eddiemairswife · 08/12/2022 22:03

It seems very tense and overwrought.

EmmiJay · 08/12/2022 22:07

Its raising my bp and filling me with fear for my own DD. Shes only 8 and I'm dreading teen yrs already😭😅

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 08/12/2022 22:08

Her pain is tangible.

I just want to reach through the screen and hug her.
both of them.

Jellywobblescobbles · 08/12/2022 22:09

It’s brilliant

Eyesopenwideawake · 08/12/2022 22:09

It's stunning and disturbing in equal parts. Amazing performances from real life mother and daughter.

ignoringthechoc · 08/12/2022 22:15

Wow, been there with the shouting then the guilt, helplessness and tiredness, they have captured it well.

Chipstick10 · 08/12/2022 22:19

Her constant sweetie darling has the ring of Eddie in Ab Fab

ignoringthechoc · 08/12/2022 22:22

Yeah that is quite annoying 🤣

Supersimkin2 · 08/12/2022 22:24

I can barely look, it’s too sore to see.

I know Kate wants to yell at her DD, I want to yell at Kate. Calm down and get help FFS.

Yeh wonder if that was Kates idea as she probably calls Mia and kids that in real life.
I'd be like stop calling me sweetheart!!.
Just annoying. Very good apart from that.

HangerLaneGyratorySystem · 08/12/2022 22:26

I've lived this. My DD began to show these signs when she was 14. If I'd have behaved like the Kate Winslet character (I"M not happy its not fair on ME) I don't think DD would still be here. 5 years on she's housebound and has lost all of her teenage years. I laughed out loud when the teacher was offering to help - some sort of fairy tale surely? That doesn't happen. But otherwise yes its a hard watch, the progression of Freya's illness is similar to my daughter. I've lived this and still do. Your life is never the same once your child becomes so ill.

Still, I wonder what way it will go? Will Freya be shown getting lots of lovely help from the NHS? CAMHS? Nice GP? I hope they will show it as it really is, but I'm not holding my breath.
