Man Alive: The Paras

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

People and the lives they live.

Tonight the Prime Minister will present a sporting award to a partly paralysed man - a paraplegic.
This is a story of achievement, partly of Dr. Guttmann and partly of his patients. Paraplegia is sudden and final - an accident can tie a man or woman to a bath-chair for the rest of their life. And that would be that, but for the work of a doctor working at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
