Hi there!

I was flicking tv channels last night when I came across this film and it was about a woman who had become paralyzed from the waist down in a car crash and it showed her struggles with her family and husband and her overcoming everything.

I'm always interested to watch these things to see how well they move their bodies and can act paralyzed. I thought it was pretty good though.

Anyone else seen it?

Hi ya,

Funny coz we recorded it on our Sky+ box when it was first on ITV I think with Caroline Quentin ages ago if I recall but 75% into watching the recording we got the old recording 'failed' stuff so missed the end. I've always half looked out for it so we can we can watch the end (don't tell me) so what channel was it on when you were 'skipping' so's I can keep looking with half an eye:-)

It seemed good if not 100% realistic (you can always tell movement/function stuff) so we wouldn't mind 'finishing it' one day:-))

(I didn't look at Simon's link b4 posting:-))
