I also thought it was unacceptable. I contacted:

maybe if we complained about eurostar in the first place this situation would never have occurred.
By having people banned from the London to Paris trains?
What's wrong with eurospa?Looks nice to me.
Excellent point, excellent post.when was the last time you saw a disabled person on RTE where the topic was not about their disability?

Indeed - I was actually going to mention Balamory. Carrie Weaver on ER was another positive example, though they did fall into the trap of going for the 'miracle cure operation' story in one of the later series.Penny Pocket on BBC's Balamory shown on Den Tots on RTE2 every weekday morning.
Can you recall ever seeing a disabled person getting laid or getting rich or getting fired or getting snappy with their partner, i.e. being seen on an equal basis to those around them? Wouldn't that make a pleasant change from the tragic/heroic storylines that seem to be the only chances a disabled person gets to appear on RTE?
the main character is wheelchair bound is basically incidental and has never in itself been exploited for comedy
