Gina - I wasn't going to come in on this, given that most seemed to have a
negative take on the programme, but I do agree with you, and I found it very
interesting and well done - of course the programme makers could have
focussed on other aspects of being a student at the RNC, but I thought what
they did highlight showed an array of feelings and emotions, no different to
those of sighted people, and not all of these were blindness specific, and
as such, it helped to highlight similarities rather than differences; not a
bad thing in my opinion.
Just as an extra observation: I thought that Steve had a lot of talent, and
a lot of spirit, and I wouldn't be surprised if we heard more of him at some
point.

| 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!
