Great programme but thousands of people like myself were victims of that awful disease Polio. I caught it in 1957 aged 3.
Many like me had a life of calipers, operations, sticks, crutches and wheelchairs. A lot died and many were bedridden, some spent years in iron lungs. I don't think people these days realise what an effect it had. When the doctor's son contracted it on the programme it looked like you have a couple of weeks feeling poorly, wore calipers for a few weeks then miraculously recover. I realise the programme is not about polio but I believe not enough was done to show how bad it was and the effect it had on the kids that caught it and their families. Thank God it has been eradicated. Thank you.
