After the thread picked up by pompa( I hadnt joined GN when the male nudity thread was going)..Has anyone watched this programme on ch4..I have to laugh at the comments of ''I can't show my partner/am embarrassed to get undressed/face the world......why oh why then go on national T.V and bare all with intimate examinations in full view of the nation confused

I have thought the same! I wonder if there is payment involved.

So true nelliedeane smile

The phrase they repeat is ''theres no shame we are all the same'' OH no we are not ,I am not bearing my nether regions or my lady bits in full view of a camera'' I wonder how a wife must feel after seeing her husbands lack of size or function on t.v,or their children come to that, or men seeing their wives bare all and be examined,I am not a prude far from otherwise I would switch off, but I just cannot get my head round it maybe there is payment involved,and it is a way of queue jumping or getting lingering conditions treated privately.smile

Some of these people have really horrible complaints. do we assume they have already sought medical help before the programme? Are they on a waiting list and jump the queue by having free treatment courtesy of Ch4? The girl with the bad teeth had some very expensive dental work done - root canal and porcelain teeth fitted. This would have cost the earth as the Dentist certainly wasn't an NHS dentist. Also are they paid to show us there bits?

I am not prudish nor do I think is my DiL but she thinks its all wrong for these men to slap their willies on the telly..............well thats the way she puts it. She told me this two weeks ago and I am still chuckling.

Anne58 Wed 18-Apr-12 18:04:17

It's real road crash T.V! I admit I am horribly drawn to it blush

Mr Phoenix seems to always find something urgent that he needs to do in another room when it's on.................

Annika Wed 18-Apr-12 18:11:52

What would our my children/ grandchildren say if we me showed our "bits " on tv, they would never speak to us me again blush

Anne58 Wed 18-Apr-12 18:29:40

Yes, that woman last night with the grown up children, who had a heavy discharge shock

Can you imagine the conversations? "Saw you Mum on telly last night, has she got her soggy gusset problem sorted yet?"
