I'm H.A.P.P.Y.
I'm H.A.P.P.Y.
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm H.A.P.P.Y.  James Bowlam, Peter Bowels, Richard Wilson 4 Series + 1 Christmas special Crap!. There's probably people out there who enjoyed it. Fair enough, the first series wasn't a bad idea, but how long were they in hospital for? And what was actually wrong with them all? Anyone out there watch it till the end?

Although you can't call it that now... it's un-PC and pretty hard to prove. Oh what's it called now? Aha... info! The name derives from one Baron Munchhausen (Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Freiherr von Münchhausen, 1720-1797), to whom were ascribed a series of fantastically impossible tales written by Rudolf Raspe.
In 1951, Sir Richard Asher (father of Jane Asher) was the first to describe a pattern of self-harm, where individuals fabricated histories, signs, and symptoms of illness. Remembering Baron von Munchausen, Asher named this condition Munchausen's Syndrome. Originally, this term was used for all factitious disorders. Now, however, there is considered to be a wide range of factitious disorders, and the diagnosis of "Munchausen syndrome" is reserved for the most severe form, where the simulation of disease is the central activity of the sufferer's life.
In 1977, the English pediatrician Roy Meadow, professor of Paediatrics at the University of Leeds, England, described a form of child abuse in which mothers deliberately induced or falsely reported illnesses in their children. He referred to this behaviour as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Its formal name since March 2002 is now Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) according to the Royal College Of Paediatrics and Child Health.[1]
In FII a caregiver, usually the mother, feigns or induces an illness in another person, usually her or his child, to gain attention and sympathy as the "worried" parent. Although Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) cases with feigned or induced physical illness receive the most attention, it is also possible in parents who emotionally abuse their child, then claim psychiatric and/or genetic problems.
So now you know.  N. |

I think I liked it once upon a time, it just seemed to go on forever, and I got bored with it.
I would say it was probably one of ITV's most repeated as well (at the time)
On to my next subject, 'Duty Free'....... 'Best of British' or 'Good Riddance'?
YOU DECIDE!

Nah... it was a beutifully realised piece of drama - exceptional casting and a script that closely followed the novels, which were based on fact!
Oh shit...
We're NOT talking about "I Claudius"?
Whoops - 'scuse me!
;D

There's nothing wrong with chatting nurses up gareth!
we've all done it.
Last time I was in, there was a right bonny wench working on the ward.
I had to behave myself though, because i was in with my dodgy heart.
Everytime she took my blood pressure, it was bloody sky high!
