    Sounds great. I hope it gets lots of viewing. But shame on the BBC for only putting it on iPlayer, not on a main channel. Great to hear they will be able to promote it on the BBC radio and TV. So pleased the Biobank team are taking a lead role in this - they are the biggest biomedical ME research team in the UK, as far as I know.

    Can iplayer be accessed from overseas?

    I understand that it's because it's being produced by BBC Newsbeat, which focuses on content for 18-24 year olds, and they, BBC Newsbeat, focus on releasing their output via iPlayer.

    Not any more, sadly, since they started blocking VPNs. Or at least, I haven't found a way :(.

    The image only - interesting that it's talking about extracellular vesicles (EVs), that's something that seems to be of increasing interest recently.

    I like Luis Nacul, I'm glad to hear him being interviewed more. This is what we need more of to change the narrative.
    After that they plug the newsbeat program and read out someones email and say they would like to hear from more people....
    continues around 2.04.00 with a bit more for a couple of minutes.
    Picks up again around 2.36.00 with more guests including Emma Donahoe and Jen Brea.
    eta: brilliant discussion

    Now contrast the ME/CFS biobank facebook post with the Esther Crawley and BACME online efforts for ME Awareness day...

    Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere (I was abroad last week, am well behind on posts :)) but Newsbeat upload most of their documentaries to Youtube. Non-UK people can find it here:
