It was a good factual real life program - I am Thankful to the BBC for the true representation of disabled people and the hardships we face :)

Hello Holly20

I am sorry I am a little confused by your question. The picture is of a young gentlemen who was disabled in a car accident - he is an actor, been in Corrie & Hollyoaks and presented this program. There is a girl in the program with a rare illness but pain & fatigue are symptoms which we can relate too.

If you haven't seen it, you might like to watch it on iplayer maybe. Do let us know what you think it?

Emma :)

I think there is a lot of programs in this defying the label series, sounds like that must be one of them too. I will certainly look into the series :)

Sadly I missed It x

hi their i've just sat and watch the programme it brought a lump to my throat i've been waiting now five months for a disability car and the amount of time you have to go through all of those forms to have to wait months for a reply it is terrible to think that any government that is in power treat the disable like dirt. i'm disabled and work love to go back to work but because i have server sleep apneoa i will never be able to work again plus the list of other things that i'v have to try and copy with i would love to see some of them try a live like we have to it makes sick to think that's how disabled are treated. take care bigalan
