I missed this the first time round but caught it last night after another one of Channel 4's 'Top 50' bullshit countdowns.
Really sad documentary but the guy was hilarious! Perving down Nell McAndrews top and etching a bean tin on his coffin. Really sad watching him suffer with his wounds though, I had to look away at some places.
“I like to see it as the skin is like Velcro,” he explains. “So the hooks are missing. So, any knocks or severe friction – such as constant wanking – just doesn’t go well with the condition, because it pulls the skin off. And then you’re knackered.” Jonny Kennedy

Don't you think all these shock-docs are a bit too close to those old circus's where you went and laughed at the freaks?

I agree, bottleneck.
And I'm disappointed that this thread had nothing to do with skiing. Though, given context, it's not too surprising.

it's nothing like the circus freak shows. In fact it's was exactly the opposite.
It showed a real person behind an incredibly horrific illness.
Had me bubbling the first time I saw it but also laughing with him because he was a very funny bloke.
Should be more docu's like it on telly.
