Ooh! This is quite exciting. Has his episode been on? I think there's only been one so far and I missed it but I can still catch up. What was his experience like? He'll have way more insight into whether there was any sense that he was filming it because of a disability as opposed to just being dateless.
To put it in an un-PC fashion.... his *delicate cough* quirks related to his disability are immediately obvious. Plus his dress sense DOES NOT help his case on the blind date! Be prepared!!
Some people with his condition thought it was a bit of a stereotypical representation and I - also having something along the lines of his condition - thought it was a little simplistic in some parts.
However, I thought all three singletons' stories were very well done and is bound to teach lots of people who've never heard of his condition something. And if nothing else, it'll get the nation talking.
Weirdly, your brother would have been one of the last people I saw before leaving the house this morning. There was an advert for the show (they've been plugging it a lot) but obviously I paid extra attention and watched it all before turning the TV off.
I'll have to watch! I know it was a slip to do this non-anonymously but it kind of does mean I can ask you stuff afterwards because I'd be curious where the stereotypes are and what got simplified. Not only as an understanding of being with a specific disability but also to see how TV presented it as opposed to how you'd present it. Well, if you don't mind me asking, of course.
Was your brother's the one last Tuesday or is it yet to come?
IIN that I think these compliments to the disabled are patronising?
