Cack telly as expected.
Will be interested to watch the woman who has been on Methadone for the last 6 years to see if she will have a far harder time than the smack heads.
Sad though most people don't understand the concept that the druggies will take methadone just to sell it and buy Heroin. Methadone is to Heroin druggies what Care in the Community is to mental patients - it's just a tick on the Health Service graph that says we are doing something about the problem
Having spent considerable time working with these type of people, the problem is far more serious than the government wants us to believe. The illness (thats what drug addiction really is) is treatable, but for most cases to be a sucess, the individuals need a complete 'social restoration' which inlolves a lot of support and time with their real friends and most of all their family.
Locking people up physically aka Trainspotting is as good a way as any to address the problem, but even when they are completely dry, the impulse to go and score is still massive and will remain with most for the rest of their lives.
Wish I watched it. Was it any good?
Definately had a sensationalist feel to it unfortunately.
Joined them over a day in under heavy sedation, so the 'interesting' bit the public wont see, which sort of renders the rest of the show pointless really.
It had a definate Chris Morris look which was rather bizzare because its production values I'm sure werent meant to be amusing.
A good idea poorly executed in summary.

Shame then. If the GP knew half the story then maybe they would be a little more understanding of how big the hole is that these idiots have dug 
It annoys me when a media company gets a good basis for a docu, but then looses the point in the delivery of the program.
So for all you people out there; "Just say no"
