Embarrassing Ilness?

On Wednesday morning, I went to Birmingham University to take part in some filming for a brand new show on Channel Four. The series, called, 'Embarrassing Illnesses', started last night, at 8:30PM. We have been working on one of the last episodes, to be screened in about 6 weeks time.

I met with some other students to discuss bowel cancer with one of the medical presenters. The highlight of the show, is a little embarrassing and you'll just have to watch it find out more.
It was a lot of fun. We met before 9AM and it took over 4 hours to film what will turn out to become probably only five or ten minutes actual footage. We meet again on Monday night to finish our section of the 30 minute show.
Althought it is prime-time TV- this is Channel 4, so I am not really certain how many people actually may see it! I also think that future episodes may appear quite late in the evening. The show seems to be a little far-fetched, but also claims to be genuinely trying to promote health awareness. And if it is successful in raising awareness of what often are fairly common illness, then it has done some good. It certainly has made me think a little harder about diet and what I can do to lead a healthier life-style.
