Did anyone watch his programme last night ? I was moved to tears by it. How good too to hear him praise his teacher and the modern pastoral system in his old school.

Although it was desperately sad in parts, it was inspiring to see that Ian Wright has managed to come to terms with what was severe emotional and physical abuse as a child.

kim19 Yes, it was harrowing at times but overall it carried a very optimistic and important message - that trying to bottle up past traumatic experiences does not dispel the hurt and anger, but talking about it can help people to take control of their lives and move on.
