The Making of Me

[laurab1]

Some of the science was interesting. But what I loved most about JB's doc, "The Making of Me", was all the stuff with John's family and friends, who are so very noisy!

The bits with John and Scott were incredibly sweet. Such obvious love in those kisses and embraces :) And the bickering in the taxi over John's schedule ;)

It was a great piece of TV, yes. And won its timeslot, too, with 3.8m people watching.

I do love that civil partnership picture, which John had as wallpaper on his computer, all the more poignant now that the three dogs John & Scott have lost are in the picture. We didn't see Charlie, their Cocker Spaniel, but CJ, the Jack Russell, was in John's arm, towards the end.

And that last hug between John & Scott was the sweetest thing I've seen for ages :)
