[Return to News Index]

UK Channel 4 ran a 30 minute documentary in the early hours of the 4th of January looking at Electrical Sensitivity (ES) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

The programme was based on the following case studies:
Sarah Dacre ES & MCS
Roger Moller conducting an EMR survey on a country cottage ES & MCS
Gillian McCarthy, MCS & ES
Adrian Gray ES and a MCS sufferer.

Each interviewee was asked how their daily living has been affected and what their health is like and what affects them, how they are unable to work and sometimes have to withdraw totally from the outside world.

There were no sceptics, no doctors or scientists and no HPA denial - ES & MCS was thoroughly credible even to the average viewer with no understanding of the daily challenges of living with ES and/or MCS.

The closing frame of the 30 minute programme was of an atomic cloud - the producer had linked ES and MCS to the severity of the effects to weaponry, nuclear fallout and commercial toxins.

The Programme Director's email address for your comments is:
Anne Claire Pilley: anneclairepilley@btinternet.com - I am sure that she would like any productive comments about her programme.

Here is to many more similar TV programmes showing mainstream TV viewers how difficult it is to live with ES/MCS!
