Did anyone watch the program 'Rather shed than dead' last night  ?  (It might have been called 'Better shed than dead' ;can't remember)

I just wondered if anyone had any comment on it.

Manxmodder:
David, it is 'Better shed than dead'. I guessed it would be about the men and sheds movement and the vital role it plays in keeping retirees mentally active and involved rather than the decline that can set in if they no longer have things to keep them constructively occupied.

We have a group here on the Isle of Man,and it is highly regarded by those who are involved.......OZ.
Swarfing:
What was the time and channel guys, maybe able to get it on catch up for those that missed it?
Manxmodder:
Swarfing,if you open the link I provided you will see a box at the top right of the page which says 'watch the film'

That takes you directly to the documentary.....OZ.
DavidA:
OZ,
Thanks for the correction.

I was hoping it would be about men in sheds generally,  a bit like this site.

But it was very interesting all the same.  The social gains seem very real. I did get the impression though that it could easily be lost in bureaucracy and become rather expensive.
More like a club with committee members etc.

Dave.
