Sky+'ed part 1 as I was busy.
Will also do part 2 - could encode and upload somewhere if anyone wants?

iPlayer will get there first, but I can also compress and upload part one overnight if anyone wants it (I have most of the process automated these days).

A very worthwhile watch. Quite hard to watch Terry struggling and occaisionally losing his cool but at the same time great to see him resolving to do a bit of lashing back while he still has the capacity (and finances).

I'm extremely sceptical about the Infra-red light emitting hat since IR radiation won't penetrate the skull very effectively, but I hope it proves to be an effective treatment all the same.

I know he was a close friend of Terry's but did anyone else take an instant dislike of that sculptor. As he was talking about assisted suicide I was just thinking 'yeah, if your clearly elevated cholestorol levels don't do for you first.'

Incidentally if you want to further help the Alzheimers cause my sister has recently completed a 'Grim challenge' in aid of Alzeimers charities. Our Grandmother passed away last year and suffered from the condition for the last 15 years of her life.
Our other Grandmother has recently been diagnosed with the same illness.

Alternatively Folding at home is a distributed computing program which aims to better understand the way proteins fold. A proteins structure when folded has a big effect on it's function in biological processes and misfolded proteins are thought to be a cause of several diseases - including some forms of Alzheimers.
The program uses your spare computing power to fold proteins and therefore contribute to the understanding of the problem, and progress towards a cure.

I hope you'll forgive me for such blatant pimping in a slightly off topic way.
