Anyone else watched this?

Post by Loki »

Thought it was very interesting-the portrayal of disabled people in british television. I don't know if anyone outside the UK can watch it via this link however, so apologies in advanced! Link

When I read the first post I thought you were linking to this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536142/

The "Cast Offs" series from last year. It was Katawa Shoujo meets Robinson Crusou (or Gilligan's Island depending on point of view). They had the thalidomide guy from the video above, plus the dwarf, as well as a deaf woman, a blind guy, and a few others all stuck on a deserted island. I only watched the first episode; it wasn't as funny as I'd hoped (then again, it's labeled a drama so maybe that's why).

There's a book that I always end up remembering when I think about KS. "The Acorn People" it's about kids with varying disabilities at a summer camp. It's entirely uplifting except for the last page TWEEST that turns the whole thing into a pile of BAAAAAW.

There was some BBC show a while back called Britain's Missing Top Model about disabled models.
