TV Documentary in planning stage.
Gecko TV is a TV production company with
a track record of producing science documentaries. They have been commissioned
to produce a documentary on Kallmann syndrome / hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
I have met up with the assistant
producer and came away impressed with the background research they had already
done and their ideas for this programme.
A previous documentary a couple of years
ago did not fully address a lot of the issues and I raised this point with
them.
They are hoping to produce a more
balanced documentary covering as many of the issues as possible.
They have already contacted a couple of
leading specialists in the UK who are helping with the content.
They are looking for anybody who has an
interest in the documentary to contact them for more information. If anybody
would like to e-mail the producer with any questions or suggestions they would
be very pleased to hear from you. The company is UK based but this does not
stop anybody contributing from outside the UK.
One of their ideas is to try to arrange
a meet up in the UK so people with Kallmann syndrome can meet other people with
the same condition. The meeting would involve doctors specialising in treating
Kallmann syndrome patients and to get up to date with treatments and diagnostic
tests.
