70 Stone And Almost Dead

[Marijn]

Today was the second instalment of this programme, but there is going to be more. Does anyone know how to find out when the next instalment will be?

Bit of info here

[Marijn]

Thank you. I read that bit, Baldric but I can only see when tonight's episode will be repeated. I can't see when the next episode will be. Am I missing something?

[Mamyalynne]

There doesn't seem to have been a follow up made from what I read and lots of folk are very angry about that.

Really, mamya? It seemed to finish partway through.

[Marijn]

At the end of tonight's programme (which was the second instalment), they were showing clips of the next instalment with the caption "next time...." They finished tonight's programme right in the middle of his gastric band operation.

Marjin- if you just missed when they said, it is on five plus 1 now. I didn't see that bit.

[Jeza]

Not seen this prog, nor do I want to but how does anyone allow them selves get to 70 stone?

[Marijn]

I deliberately listened carefully in case they said when it would be on, but they didn't say. Silly, aren't they, because how will we know to watch it? I was lucky to catch the episode today as I caught it by accident.

[pixie373]

Me too. Well, if i find out, I'll certainly let you know.

One of the many district nurses who visit Mic is the size of a house, nay mansion. She parks her car and walks to my front door, uses the door frame to pull her self up the step and by the time she gets to Mics room which is on the ground floor she has to sit down to get her breath back.
She then proceeds to tell me what I should be feeding Mic.
Without meaning to be cruel, people of that size are in the wrong job and I wonder why the NHS employ her.

[Mamyalynne]

I really did search and found forums with people saying 'Where is the rest of the story'?

[Marijn]

Thanks Pixie :-) If you could put a message on this thread if you ever find out, I'd be really grateful. After watching the first one last year, and luckily catching the one today, I really want to know what happens to him.

[Marijn]

Thanks Mamyalynne. Those complaints were after the first programme, which I think was last Autumn, and people thought there was going to be no follow on. The follow-on was tonight, which was a big gap since the first one, and they definitely kept saying in tonight's one that there would be another instalment, but stupidly they didn't say when. I would've been nice if they'd even given a rough idea when.

[Marijn]

I meant "IT would've been nice..."

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, now I understand, yes it would have been helpful.

[Marijn]

Thanks Fender, but that's just the repeats of last night's programme. :-(

Do any of you "Saturday morning ABers" know?
