I pay my license fee to see many things, but if this is the best BBC1 can come up with....
Thought I'd fallen asleep and started dreaming FFS

eek I wonder how many people with hiccup will be going to their doctor asking for a MRI scan tomorrow?

Seemed like a bright likeable bloke.
I like happy endings.

Although..

I'd prefered it if he shagged the bridesmaid at his sisters wedding, slapped his dad for picking him up in a van and stabbed the doctor who told him it wasn't a tumor!

I thought it was quite an interesting little program. I find hiccups frustrating for 10 mins let alone 2yrs!! Add that to other medical issues he had, I thought he was pretty chilled out about it really.

Interesting way to get to get to the right diagnoses and treatment. Shamemthat he could have had a diagnoses months earlier if just that extra test had been considered.

I missed it. Was it essentially footage of people trying to startle someone?

That's about it.

Didn't work though but I spilt three cups of coffee and a can of coke over me during it. Frightened the life out of me!

There was a time when a sufferer of hiccups or sneezes like this would be a little star on record breakers or blue peter.. nowadays they are whisked off to A&E to be scanned for brain abnormalities and repaired, rather than some minor interest item on Nationwide readout by Frank Bough in chains after they sadly copped it.
