IMHO a lot of television these days is poor, lowest common denominator stuff that does not appeal to me

However there are exceptions


I have a friend who works for the production company that made a programme that shows on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm

"Feral Children"


I am told this is a remarkable and sad programme. My friend is very proud of his work on this programme

It centres on a 23 year old Ukrainian lady who was abandoned as a child and brought up by a pack of dogs on a rundown farm.

Now returned to a "human" existence she is one of only 100 known feral children in the world. Institutionalised and with no prospect of a return to a "normal" life she even now occasional reverts to animal behaviour

Her story is one of official neglect and is a complicated study of what happens to a child if he/she is denied the opportunity to grow up and develop as we all did.

Not likely to be easy watching, but likely to fascinating stuff.

Is this a repeat? I recall something similar where the girl cannot walk correctly, and even after being taught often reverts to walking on all fours

I saw this advertised Tighty, but I dont think I could watch it, it would upset me too much.

The programme is an update of the original that was first broadcast two years ago in the year 1PB

PB? Pre blonde, when I still watched telly!

ahhh, spending your childhood being brought up by animals - those were the days...............

The other 99 ferals must be living in Harlow, wearing hoodies and grunting when you walk past them.


seriously I was planning on watching this it looks facinating.

The firt one was very interesting, it wil be interesting to see if she has progressed.

That was an interesting program, cheers for pointing me in the direction of it.

I watched a great documentary involving Darcus howe and his son on channel 4 the other night.

Ive watched a couple of documentaries he's made before and read some of his stuff and found it all to be accessibly enlightening.

This was hard to watch though; although the idea for the program was to document him and his sons detached relationship and there endeavour to re-cement it(which was really quite good) there was something far more "entertaining" in the loosest possible sense, to watch.

Darcus seems to have become a complete alcoholic, i mean really gone at the game.

the documentary was filmed over a six month period and although it was never directly eluded to by the commentator/producer he spent the entirety of time slaughtered, incoherently babbling about the ideology of the civilrights movement with absolutely no applicability.

He couldn't even walk in a straight line and i thought it sad that such an articulate, learned, social commentator of the past 40 years could have allowed himself to be seen in such a light.
