I agree with you here Carol, My I think the programm was done for
entertainment and through the eyes of a tipical media reporter. Nothing
"Good" was promoted in the programm, fowl language, bad maners. Guess
Hannah wasn't in the programm as she's a different type of person, one who
wants to Achieve and Get on in life, Not quite how the media want to present
a VI person.

Hi Chris,
OK, we heard the documentary here, though there was no sight in the house to
confirm anything. There was the naration but, for some reason or other, we
didn't get the audio description on Cable. Anyway, after a while we
switched to digi-TV and got the audio which did improve things a little.
My honest view is that Channel 4 made a very poor programme, wasting a lot
of time and not getting sufficient background about courses and information
through to the public. As I wrote last night, I object greatly to that
phrase "Young blind things", as though they're a piece of rubbish! I know
it may be an expression that's very much "in" now, but I found it very
demeaning indeed to think of such folk in this way.
There were extra students around from time to time but of course I have no
knowledge as to whether one of them was Hannah. She was not mentioned by
name, so far as I can recall. Salina and Stacy were the prominent girls.
On a good note, I was pleased (and slightly amused) to discover that they at
least still use the word "Totals" at RNC. That sure took me back! (They
didn't mention "The dims and visions" though. Perhaps, in some ways, that's
as bad as the word "things", but we chose to call ourselves by those names
and that was the difference!
Well, forgive my rambles, Mr. Moderator. I'll get off the computer and come
back ready to keep good conduct tomorrow, promise!
