The legend that is Dr Gunther Von Hagens returns to our screens again tonight on Channel 4 at 11.05
Not for the very squeamish though

I am impressed with his work but I still dont see the need.
I have real problems watching surgical operations, odd since I dont have a weak stomach with other grisly things.

I shall be watching. Found the last thine he did (where he just went through the whole of the human anatomy) very interesting.
Nothing bothers me gore wise, especially this. I always thought alot of the stuff from the last one looked quite fake. I guess it was just different from what I would expect because they had done things to preserve it.

If you can look behind the cutting stuff it is the charcter that makes this stuff watchable. The good doctor is indeed a small screen legend

I certainly avoided going to a German hospital while I was there, too many war films as a kid i suppose.
Incidently I did bump into a bloke walking along a quiet country road carrying a full size axe at midnight who merely said 'Hallo' as if nothing was odd.

Im not usually scared but I will openly admit that I was at that point.
The bloke who lived above me was also pretty keen on axes and singing at the top of his voice to poodle rock.
Funnily enough I handed my notice into that company, I wont even go into the hotel which had manaquins posed as if they were dancing around the dining room and was very much akin to the one in The Shining.
Still their beer and food is great.

It has to be the odd German chappie with the hat ;D I was saying to a friend of mine last night- I wonder if he ever takes it off?! ;D I see this programme from 2 angles really- the comedy in hearing Dr. von haagens saying things such as "I cut in von stroke through", along with the crazy accents the audience members have and the fact that when he was filling up those intestines yesterday, they just looked like sausages, and then there's the educational element... I think the last one was more informative and useful (in my opinion) but it's still a good programme to watch |

What were sausage skins made from originally? Directly off askjeeves: "the thick ones were originally made from the large intestine of the pig, and the thinner chipolatas from the small intestine"... And Dr German von Crazyhat is on again now, with 2 women that've been sliced in half, a naked 84 year old and a pickled baby or two... Good stuff  |

I wonder who had the idea to televise a disection of a human.
That said it is interesting from an educational point of view.

So whats the most gory injury you have done yourself?
Is he the same bloke who skinned all the people and shows all the veins off?
