REVIEW
The Times - ‘Surgeons: A Matter of Life or Death was the most astounding thing on TV last night. The cameras showed us Stephen, 53, a man with a highly aggressive mouth tumour who was facing just months to live without surgery – which involved having his lower jaw, teeth and most of his tongue sawn off, the bottom third of his face plopped on the table. It was both horrific and hypnotic…Phenomenal.’
