I love this! Feel so bad for Lewis. It’s obviously he really liked Megan but his anxieties and him unable to process and express his emotions prevented a relationship. He uses his phone as a crutch because he’s so anxious. I so so hope he has now found somebody.
Hopefully he has, I think it would be good if it hasn't happened already for someone to explain that isn't it as bad as he thinks. I think kissing someone helps you know if you truly like a person
@@louieo.blevinsmusic4197nah she acting like any lady would tbh… n she super sweet and patient . Look at her dance she’s just waiting to say yes to lewis but won’t force him either!! very ladylike
Someone needs to take Lewis’s phone away from him! He uses it constantly to avoid any kind of social interaction and its seems like it’s really inhibiting his mental and social advancement.
What a great show! All the people are so funny and kind to each other. I wish I had a group of friends like this. We should all be so lucky... I felt lonely tonight and now I don't feel so bad. Megan as Dorothy was so sweet I squealed a little when i saw her :)
These relationships these guys have are so sweet, so pure and so innocent…. If the whole world was this pure and innocent I can assure you we’d be in a much better place!
Lewis reminds me of my son a little bit. My son is a high functioning DS, 26. But he has problems with empathy. He was in a wreck. The person he hit was really hurt. While everyone ran to help her, he did not and called me. I could hear people screaming at him as to why he was not helping her. His twin brother had warned me, but I just didn't believe it. After this I started teaching him what he should do in certain situations. Bless his heart at first he just started crying and said but mom I do care. He just didn't know how to handle. Six years latter, he is at about 90% able to do the right thing. The other 10% is more about girlfriends, like when they are ready to go home and he is not he just says goodbye! 🤣
Lewis doesn’t fit in because he’s not like them… they have Down syndrome. Most of the time they are very emotionally stable and can interact socially. Lewis is CLEARLY very autistic. And has a ton of trouble socially. It’s just not a good match bc he has so much anxiety and dreads it
I think my man Sam would be hitting on every pretty woman if given the oppertunity😂......your wife, your sister and even our mothers😂😂...even in your presenz
I'm a Christian as well as a recovering addict we have people at my church with special needs who I find very intelligent and no problem with their disabilities, their like any other human being ,and I've found their friendship are great way to rehabilitate from my addiction, they've made me understand you don't need substances just understanding and love
I've worked as a support worker for a few years and I love it. No two days are the same. Some of the people I've supported over the years are some of the loveliest people I've ever met. What you see is what you get. Love this series
I have a cousin like this and he was an amazing wing man! He knew exactly what to do. When we would go to the arcade he told me he could get us free games. I told him he was crazy. He found a guy that worked there and pretended to not know that the games required quarters. The guy felt bad so he opened it up and hit the switch for life a minute. He said I told you. 😂😂😂
This is brilliant. The honesty and wisdom of these young adults is inspiring.I can remember when i was young - 72 now - we shunned people that were different. The carers have got one of the best jobs on the planet. These are the people we should be celebrating instead of egotistic celebs
Nah Lewis gotta leave his phone at home because i know for a FACT it aint much goin on on that old school phone...he interacts better when not able to depend on the phone...he would probably open his eyes more often for more eye contact too lol poor thing I love him but im takin the phone!
🤣 Good point! Though that phone wasn't old school when we shot this in 2009. The one thing you can be sure of with Lewis is that he will always have the latest gadget 🤓
I think he uses it as a crutch in social situations when things get too overwhelming and he gets nervous, I relate to him, but it's very important to avoid overreliance on it. Must also be difficult for him to see that he's being rude when he does it sometimes.
I wonder whether Lewis is actually gay but simply has not the mental capacities to realize that gay love is also a possibility. Always talking about how "disgusting" it would be to kiss Megan.
Lewis is so funny. He says he got dumped by his new girlfriend and she did it so fast. Megan says they were boyfriend girlfriend since nursery school. Hmmmm. Lewis? What's up?
College in the UK usually means age 16-18 and is therefore available free. This is obviously not a traditional academic college though, and this 'type' of education has clearly been decided as more useful for these guys even if you don't approve.
@@farberry17 I would also like to add that people receive disabled students allowance which may have been what those special classes come from :) they may be studying a subject but take part in extra curricular for free to help them in life ❤️😁
There is a chance the reason it grosses Lewis out on TV and movies is because he understands they are acting and it's inappropriate to kiss someone like that that you are not in a relationship. Relationships and intimacy can be difficult to understand for the average person let alone anyone who has any mental factors to add into that
the way he accidentally blew out the candle at 15:25 is so funny. The face he makes afterwards is priceless

If he would really like her, he would make an effort to show it. Anxiety or not.

@@Raven-pr6vd bruhh. He has multiple mental disorders
Megan's so pretty :-) all are SUPER special, with good hearts! Everyone can learn from them.
Lowkey Megan is wife material its such a shame
Megan is soo sooo patient with Lewis she even understands that he would react in certain ways if she forces the kiss
I think she’s too shy herself to of made that move. Forcing probably wasn’t the best word either but I knew what you meant. 😂

It’s hard for him

@@emmaathome2902 but it's his life, its not for others to make that choice
I agree with you. The phone definitely isn't helping him...
They're all so adorable. Megan is a little doll. They must be protected ❤️
"you want the steak" "YEESSHH" blows out candle.
Sam made those lines from Shakespeare so meaningful! ✨
Awe... Breaks my heart to see Megan having boyfriend problems. 😥 Love Lucy's costume!!
I think Sam dancing to 'hot stuff' made Megan realise she was with the wrong guy!🤭
I feel equally bad for them. He can't help it and she's dying for affection.
Fr that’s why I was happy when she got with Sam
Yes Lucy!! She wants to be Tinkerbell and shes gonna be Tinkerbell! Even after the others say she looks funny. I can learn from this woman!

💯
Lucy has her crap together. House mother and in charge of herself!!! Love it🤍🇨🇦✌️
I’m Irish and you can tell Lewis he did a great job with the accent 👍🏼 just found this show and it’s great!
Haha! I will pass this on to Lewis at the next filmed zoom chat. I'm sure he will be very chuffed ;-)
Same! Loving it
Sam just hitting on that dudes wife😂
I think my man Sam would be hitting on every pretty woman if given the oppertunity😂......your wife, your sister and even our mothers😂😂...even in your presenz

If Lewis made an effort to talk to her and wasn't on his phone every 5 seconds he wouldn't of been dumped

Come from the land of the ice and snow! I know Lewis is obviously shy, but he has put down that dam phone and pay attention to Megan.

This is 10x better than friends
Frrr I’d trade the number of far too many friends episodes for more episodes of the specials any day 😭😂
Lucy looks like my manager at work
Aww man Megan also practiced for the Special Olympics?! She is so sweet, patient and cute!
I hate how these videos aint getting more likes cause this is Super good love it
I think that too. They are a lovely bunch of people, they deserve more likes. x
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤
Iewis sense of humour is amazing really funny with it he is quick at it as well keep on going mate
Megan needs to dump that zero and get herself a hero 😂😂😂

Sam is an absolute madman he’s gunning for megan harddddddd
You see how hard he was plotting at 19:27
Sam is the MAN! Prince Charming was definitely the right choice for a costume.
This is the best programme I've watched. I would recommend it to younger people.
No chocolate today... Oh they look healthy. Oh, sod it - takes the chocolate bar lol
Lewis needs to make an effort with Megan and some one needs to take his phone way I feel so sorry For Megan

Sam's joy is infectious.
You want the steak? Yes (proceeds to blow candle out)!
Lewis beers is the most relatable quote on here
Lewis spends too much time on his phone
Them at the dinner table Sam thinking when would it be a good time to flirt with Megan
Sam has officially read more Shakespeare than I have. It’ll be alright for Lewis. At least she didn’t take all his records and the dog.
lewis took the breakup better than I did haha
Because he sadly doesn't feel much...
@@andiedoolan3371he's just awkward man.. he's a kind soul.
Watching this baked might be the best thing ever. Lewis is king 🎉🎉
Bro, Sam's dancing looks like me after a pill of x lmao

So glad to hear you are enjoying it 😊

i know exactly how you feel lewis, social anxiety is a BITCH
❤️
When Sam heard Lewis had no girlfriend you can see the gears or opportunity start to move😅
said brutal isn't it
😂😂😂
Sam is gonna take Megan away from Lewis. He better be careful. Megan needs someone who talks to her.
Please will you make more episodes. I feel so safe & comforted watching these guys.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Did Megan compete at the Olympics?
She competed at the Special Olympics that were held in Leicester in 2009 🏅🏅🏅
These people are beautiful no malice in them. Just living life
These guys are awesome I love them! Shout out the young bull Shane and Billy and Spud for introducing me to this show!
I LOVE THIS PROGRAMME. Please can you do another series
this show touches my heart and puts me in a great mood everytime
I feel like its awesome to have them as mates 😊
sam casually reading shakespear
I wonder whether Lewis is actually gay but simply has not the mental capacities to realize that gay love is also a possibility.
Always talking about how "disgusting" it would be to kiss Megan.
Ahh he not gay......he is just not yet adult enough......he is a little boy that is too shy and thats why he says thinks like that
If society was more like them, we would be much more loving, caring and empathetic are they disabled or are we?
Lewis is so funny. He says he got dumped by his new girlfriend and she did it so fast. Megan says they were boyfriend girlfriend since nursery school. Hmmmm. Lewis? What's up?
Probably meant so fast as in the moment of breaking up with him not the length of the relationship.
Time flys by.....
Prince Charming for the win!!! What a slicko!!
its like the guy is only brave and like a power ranger who does not give up
Love this group of great women & guys!
Sam’s a dawg! Shane really needs to meet him
I hope they weren’t paying college money and getting that type of education

Welcome!!
Where are they all now. Does anyone know

Aw I love Megan. She seems like such a sweet girl.
15:25 and there goes the candle!
🤣🤣🤣
ok guys, where is the next season? miss seeing these guys on their show the specials, enjoy watching their lives.
Sam was ready to make his move and soon as he heard Megan dumped Lewis 😂
I can't blame Meghan really because if my boyfriend didn't dance or hold hands with me I wouldn't like it either so I'm with Megan on that one
Beautiful souls!
Have you thought about kissing her? His response “I haven’t tried that on a girl yet” 🤔
He's obviously extremely anxious about it

What year was this show started and ended?
Hi! We shot Season 1 in 2009 and Season 2 in 2012 😊
Lewis is lord of the weather app
Sam is like joey, Lewis is like Ross,Hilly is like Monica,Meghan is like Pheobe,lucy is like Rachel. We are just missing a Chandler!
That is my best Episode ever Remember in Brighton collage about healthy. class
Brutal, innit.
13:17 i think he is getting some cat food
Sam isn' t really in costume. He actually IS Prince Charming!!! Lewis listen to Sam's advice!!
Sam go for hilly not megan
I want to be best friends with Sam. He’s a king.
