I've only seen the first one so far, but I was struck by the moments of clarity the characters have, when they realise their interpretation of their lives is just a cover for the something they would otherwise not be able to accept: the boy's reaction to the result of the scarecrow competition was an extreme example, but usually it's just a confused hesitation, a quick look away.
I think everyone does the same sort of thing, it's just that they capture it so well here.
It's also very funny.
edit - damn - top of the page misery

Two great fly on the wall programmes last night, The Brighton Police and the Birmingham ambulance service
The police with the delights of society that they have to deal with, and the ambulance service dealing with death and a new life
Great TV

Anyone see Alan Titchmarch's latest venture Love Your Home And Garden last night
Now he not only remakes the garden but tears the house to bits as well
Last night featured a woman who has some eye disease which they described her as having very limited vision, and her working husband and two very young daughters who offer some care for her
They reorganised the garden and pretty well ripped the house apart to allow more light in, and easier mobility. Interestingly the woman was perfectly able to view and approve the finished product
We had a trailer for next week which involves a very physically handicapped boy

I watched the end of it and I don't think I could live in a house where the entire ground floor was open plan, I am far too untidy and where do you go to listen to the radio other than your bedroom. No I like a chair in the kitchen for that. They did a nice job and I understood she needed the place to be as light as possible to see properly but I still wouldn't want my entire ground floor knocked into one.

I'm trying to avoid the Diana nostalgia stuff that is getting epidemic.

The Birmingham Ambulance Service provided a wonderful example last night of the mad PC world
Ambulance called to an alcoholic man who was drunk and kept falling over, his partner was very worried that he was hurting himself. The ambulance workers were there for four hours trying to persuade him to go to hospital, he refused. His mother and daughter arrived but they couldn't persuade him
The workers and family all tried separately phoning for the police to come, "Sorry, if he doesn't want to go we cannot force him so will not attend". This ambulance was urgently required elsewhere but they were not allowed to leave
Eventually the ambulance service management phoned their police contact, and two officers arrived at the house. "These people want you to go to hospital mate" in an assertive voice they said, and he walked into the ambulance
PS He received help following his hospital visit, and with his family's support he is trying to beat his addiction

There's nothing political about it. You can't be treated against your will - you never could, without being sectioned. |

There's nothing political about it. You can't be treated against your will - you never could, without being sectioned. If you require or request treatment you can hardly be accused of being "treated against your will" If we are to have armies of health carers spending hours or days pleading with you or trying to persuade you to take your meds or accept treatment then the whole NHS will grind to a halt and nobody will get better. It's the same as a previous discussion where in hospital staff are stuck trying to get patients to co-operate I suspect that if you had been in need of an ambulance or any treatment to be told that nobody is available because they are all busy trying to persuade others to accept the help they need, you would drastically change your attitude |

Request, yes; require, no. So if a doctor says to you that you have sepsis for example and require urgent antibiotics or you will die, you could refuse I don't think so |

This wasn't urgent in that way. Do I have the right to refuse treatment?but oops: But he didn't want to go to the hospital (and I don't blame him: there are times when I've tried to avoid that). I still don't see what's PC about it either. |
