Stephen Fry's guide to Manic Depression

[Scooby326]

Anybody see this? I managed to miss it, and wondered if anyone knew if it would be repeated

If you have Sky then you can watch it tonight at 23.50 on BBC 2 Wales - Channel 991.

[Scooby326]

yeah, I've gopt NTL, but don't get regional BBC2 on it

It was excellent, (only seen first part so far) the woman who tried to kill herself by an electric drill to the head was terrifying though.

Saw the first part, but the cat managed to turn the TiVo (and everyting else) off at about 8.15 last night by standing on the on/off switch on the 'surgemaster' socket :mad: So missed part 2. Is it repeated again?

[Johnkg]

Only criticism I had of an otherwise excellent program was that a lot of material in part one was reshown in part two. I half expected Stephen Fry to say 'if you think we are repeating last weeks episode and its annoying you, then you too are bipolar...' :suspect:

The ECT scenes were unpleasant to say the least...

Just watched this and the girl at the end reminds me of an Ex GF :cry:

Watched this last night. Very good. However the people featured on the show all seemed to be from wealthy backgrounds and to be very smart and talented. Although I know that mental illness can strike anyone from whatever background I do think that it's effects can sometimes be made worse when combined with a disadvantaged background as there is less of a saftey net in terms of support. Not all of the mentally ill are as clever and talented as Stephen Fry and I think that perhaps the show gave a slightly skewed impression in this regard.

in the first episode it was telling that all the famous people he spoke to would keep their manic depressive state if they had the choice, whereas the "ordinary" woman would not, I think that emphasises what you mean, gareth101.

I actully thought the same thing, although not in looks, but in how they described her moods. Kinda freaky that you wrote that.

By the way, to anyone looking for a repeat, I can't seem to find one. I'm sure with the numberous digital channels the BBC has now they can afford to repeat this at least once, but if they are they certainly aren't advertising it. Sorry.

I'd caught only bits of this and really wanted to see all of it. Shame if its not repeated. :(
