Did anybody see that on Channel 4 tonight?

About a lad who was a really talented musician & had Cystic Fibrosis & how he conducted Bach's Magnificat etc?

It was the most compelling thing I've seen for a long time.

Just download Channel 4 On Demand and watch it on your computer when you like.

I spend most Saturday mornings in bed watching Bo Selecta! and Russell Brand on my laptop. Great start to the weekend.

Me and the little spikes watched it whilst scoffing pizza after rugby training last night. What a positive young man Alex is. Not sure about the music but the passion and drive that young man has is massive.

One of those moments where TV actually delivered something worth watching.
