Just a postscript to the above. It's not on next Tuesday - the series is on this week only, every evening on BBC1 at 7pm.

Well Mr John Dart was at it again! i sat there watching with great interest and focus, and my bro was squirming and twisting!!!
the video was nowhere as detailed as the one showed at the Conference! That was truly amazing!
And i think it didn;t do much justice on Post surgery recovery! 3 weeks and he was hitting Golf Balls!
Guess it's different with everyone!
Mind you i've not had one so what would i know!

Ahhh dam now look what happened, i missed it! LOL!! I think though that having recently had it done it is a good thing, and if i had seen it before surgery it would have probably changed my mind!! :lol: :P

Lol Jay, i know what you mean, i don't see any improvement, but then it is not even two weeks yet, but wouldn't it be nice to read that far when i only see a light box hehe!

I checked the BBC website only to find it gave very little information about that series.

Was hoping (long shot I know) that it would be available to view online like some of their other programmes.

Also checked the listings, as in the past I have been able to watch a programme that I have missed later on in the week in the early hours, (usually repeated with a person signing in the corner for deaf people). But according to both the BBC and Yahoo! TV guides, it's not being repeated in the next 7 days, if ever.
