If anyone missed this wonderful docudrama (horrid word) about the wonderful Jewish doctor who started the paralympics in 1948, its being repeated this Sunday on BBC2 at 10pm. Moving, uplifting and very humbling and WELL worth watching.

I absolutely loved The Best of Men. It reminded me a little bit about the doc who started 'The Guinea Pig Club' (re the men who were so badly burnt in WWII). The world needs more people like Dr Guttman (what a fabulous name) and the Aussie doc who started the GPC.

I am very impressed by the man who started Changing Faces - a charity to support people with facial disfigurement.
