Wires on the tele!

Tonight 20:30 Panorama BBC1

What's the occasion? Is this Ian Knott's open and frank talk of contemplating suicide?

Don't know
I don't start till 8.30!

Just looked at the info and it is about suicide.

Good job they didnt show it after the castleford game

Drummer boy Tom and tall Dave on the tele!

No sign if Arsenal Al though.

An extremely moving programme

It's obviously nobody elses business that someone's tried to take their own life, but I had no idea, re Knott and Danny Sculthorpe. I'm glad they've managed (are managing) to battle their demons.

It does make those ridiculous expressions to "man up" and "grow a pair" seem totally inane.

A well put together piece by Simon Jack, who obviously had first hand experience of the situation.
Interesting fact about Mr Jack. His father in law was film score genius John Barry.

Good post Lefty

My dad was 37 when he did the deed, i was 17 then.

I had this on reminder, i was a little shocked when all of a sudden Wire popped up.

Bridge's testimonial against HKR i'm guessing.

Superb programme. I can remember a long thread on here a couple of years ago re the subject of MH. There were those who were saying that depression didn't really exist and people should 'man up.' To be truthful, at the time I didn't have the courage to speak up, but as someone who has had 'a black dog' on a couple of occasions, I can say that it is a terrible thing to have, and at the time you feel like there simply isn't a positive future.

Excellent programme, well worth a watch on iPlayer if you missed it: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... the-family
