The email I got said it's going to be shown in December.
That's pretty quick, compared to the Cutting Club. I mean they were an independent film company, but they like, took the time to get know us and meet up with us and not just pick and choose between us, they were happy for anyone to be involved. Also they took a long time, I think it was nearly a year from them starting to interview people and meet up with them to the main film being produced.
I'm not too bothered about the BBC thing. It'll be interesting to watch, and people who are disappointed, don't worry ,they'll be other opportunities.
I'm not convinced that they read all of our letters though. Otherwise I would have thought they would be quite interested in Sarah's story (hope you don't mind me saying that Sarah), and the CRU and such.
i spoke to some lady ages ago and she called a couple of times but then i got the phonecall saying they were just filming in Southhampton because they only have 6 weeks to do this is.
I think its ridiculous...why ask for our help when they just want 3 people from a certain area and they dont want our help in making the film...they dont want our input...well they didnt want mine.
Also, they should have realised they would get hundreds of people emailing and calling...it wasnt handled well at all.
Was anyone from RYL picked?

Chels - I was *in* Southampton when she left me a voicemail to say that they were filming someone in Southampton and they were going with that one. So yeah.
i thought they wanted 3? It it was just one person then they didnt have to come on here and bother us and be bombarded by us and not reply and upset people and whatever.
they also said they wanted our input for the documentary...they didnt want to hear anything from me....
i dont care that they didnt pick me, i just hate that we have been treated like this...

I got a call but I wasnt particularly happy about it cos she didnt seem sypathetic, I remember her saying that my weight wasnt that low when I told her about my eating problems, I thought she might have just been stupid, but thats not really an excuse if your talking to people with mental health problems and you want their help. Hmm, even if she does phone me back, I have gone sour over the whole idea anyway.

This whole thing is a mess. I'm not bothered I didn't get picked, in fact I'm glad I didn't now as I think this documentary is going to be like a freak show (not saying anyone here are freaks, but i don't think the doc is going have a sympathetic tone).
I can't believe they got in contact with the whole of RYL, only to want 3 people from southampton. Why didn't they say that in the first place?
I agree with Roby, Nicola from windfall films (channel 4) who made the cutting club took a lot of time to get to know us. I met her a few times in London, and she also came to my house to get to know me and my parents. The whole process took over a year, and we had a lot of input. I can't believe the BBC are going to film this in a few weeks. I thought they were better than that.
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
i dont think harley ould have known, becuase i had an interview with her and i was in liverpool. i think it was a later decision to keep to one area.
but yeah when i had my interview i wasnt that impressed.
she kept starring at my scars :\
well when she phoned me on tuesday she kept saying how close i was to them and that they would love to do it with me, but i felt she was pushin me too much and i didnt feel like putting my brother through it all so on wednesday i told her no.
i think its all to quick really.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
