Is anyone else watching? I missed the first 5 minutes but it looks like an interesting programme about Nick. He seems to have many other medical issues apart from his height.:(

    He's such a character isn't he?!

    Re. his dad, there has been no mention. Why does it matter? Maybe he'd dead, maybe he's an absent parent, maybe he simply didn't want to take part in the filming?

    Channel 5 eh?
    I swear they should dress Kirsty Wark up as a circus master and let her introduce the programs.

    interesting programme. i didn't realise that primordial dwarves had learning difficulties in addition to their dwarfism. Although staying childlike does protect him from the world a lot perhaps.

    not digging the brother's beards btw

    90% of these programmes never have the dad in them and it's never explained.

    Isn't it great that they can all meet up and the mums can share experiences. That must really help having that support.

    The relationship between the three brothers was great. It is good for Nick that he is unaware of the seriousness of his condition. The intellectual development of people with MOPD varies a lot, so some adult PDs are adult mentally as well as physically, and some are much less developed than Nick.
