In class to help us with the representation area disability, we watched the first two episodes of Phoenix Nights a comedy drama wrote by Peter Kay. This is a unusual program as far as stereotypical disabled people are portrayed. This is because the main character played by Peter Kay is disabled is is also the boss of a working men's club. This is unusual because its is very rare that a person with power and authority. He very rarely shows he struggles with his disabity in the episodes and doesent show may of the stereotypical trates of a disabled person on the TV.
- He shows signs of his disability on 3 main occasions this is when he is unable to get him self a drink becaause he cant stand up to reach.
- When he had to ask fo his wheelchair because he couldn't get it himself.
- He couldn't join in on the bucking bronco
