I watched it. I was asked to by a woman I used to work with whose granddaughter has the condition (I gather she was featured in an article in the Sunday Express). It's a terrible condition, and really makes you realise your good fortune.

What a fantastically made programme and what a wonderful character John Kennedy was.  I hardly stopped crying throughout it.  Loved the area where he went to live, he was a totally amazing man!!

It was so sad :( i really felt for the little fella , i wanted someone to show him some affection but really it dident seem that way except from neil mac what ever her name is , shes quite a nice celeb by the looks of things .
I hope they have a cure for the problem soon , :(

What a very brave person he was - his family too - puts life into perspective.

How courageous of him! the amount of pain he went through in his life, I sobbed when his Mum was changing his dressings near the end, really puts my back ache into perspective.

He was sooo brave to film right till the end, even my 15 year old daughter sat in silence watching (which is most unusual).........such a dreadful illness :-(

:( DAMN I FORGOT IT WAS ON. :(

I watched it. What an amazing character, such a great attitude to both life and death. To keep a sense of humour with all that pain is remarkable. I don't know how he managed to bear it and I really felt for his poor Mum having watch him go through it.
