Thanks for this, I think that’s actually one of the other episodes where another family went to the Himalayas and all sorts but still interesting to see what they are up to now!They were/are very wealthy, I believe the husband was a property developer. There’s an update here on what they are doing now running a food company/restaurant (back in the UK ): https://elianesmiles.com/our-story/
That second one sounds scary, I just read up on it There are loads of people online asking where they can find the episode to watch and one person said the woman threw a fit and ordered all copies of it to be destroyed and not allowed to be uploaded online anywhere
I found an update from March 2020 for your first doc:

oh gosh that’s just so unbelievably sad isn’t it?Alex life fast forward has always stayed with me.
Also dreams of a life about Joyce Vincent. She died in her flat but her remains were not discovered until three years later. Her heating and her television were still on and she had been wrapping Christmas presents when she died. Yet nobody realised
I often think about Joyce Vincent, and rewatch that when I want her cry. The contrast between how her ex lights up when speaking about his memories of her, and crumples at the thoughts of her loss.Alex life fast forward has always stayed with me.

I remember that girl too. She had to have like 5 baths a day didn't she, and constantly apply the cream. Must have been awful.Brilliant thread, thanks!
I was very humbled by a documentary of a young girl who had a terrible skin condition (something like Harlequin disease) like terrible, terrible excema, and it took her mum ages after every bath and throughout the day to put cream on her everywhere and make her comfortable. I used to moan about putting my two kids in the bath, etc but seeing that documentary, I never took for granted again how lucky I was to have two kids who got out of the bath, dried and straight into PJs. I often think of her and wonder how she's getting on.
Children living in poverty and counting what cash they had for the week with their parents broke my heart.
Yes they were on an episode of Jeremy Kyle (a nice episode that was championing brave children.) It seemed every movement she was in so much painI remember that girl too. She had to have like 5 baths a day didn't she, and constantly apply the cream. Must have been awful.
Omg! I think about that documentary as well! I found it below:There was a BBC3 doc about "underage mums". One episode featured a pair of twins, and one of them got pregnant age 14. A few months later, her twin sister also got pregnant! The parents thought it might be a cry for attention.
I watched that a few months ago too, probably the same time as you did. But I didn’t realise it was a repeat, and from so long ago as well. It was very sad. He was so brave.Johnny Kennedy and his documentary "The Boy Who's Skin Fell Off"
It documented the last few months of his life, from choosing his coffin, to moving out of his parents house into his own place, and raising awareness and money for his condition.
He was such a brave, honest and funny man. I always would think of him whenever I hear Queen's Don't Stop Me Now, which was played at his funeral.
I rewatched it again a few months ago. Still powerful TV.

This was the first person I thought of when I read the title. He was such a funny upbeat guy considering what he was going through.Johnny Kennedy and his documentary "The Boy Who's Skin Fell Off"

Me too. Like a baby. I just couldn't imagine how much suffering he had to contend with day in, day out.I was just about to come on here to post this! Oh gosh, I just SOBBED watching that.
Yep, 2004, crazy to think it was so long ago. I remember watching it the first airing and just in awe of his bravery. I couldn't stop thinking about him for weeks.I watched that a few months ago too, probably the same time as you did. But I didn’t realise it was a repeat, and from so long ago as well. It was very sad. He was so brave.
