[backstage] Ian Forrester Update
Hi all, We've posted a limited update on the Backstage blog with some information about Ian's illness and recovery. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcbackstage/2010/05/ian-forrester.shtml There's is more detailed information but we're being sensitive about sharing it and not at this time broadcasting it on shared channels such as this or the blog- for what it's worth, it's good news so far today. As and when we're happy to share information more widely we'll share it on Backstage blog, and here. Ian will I'm sure be deeply moved by the many heartfelt messages of support that have been flooding in on this and other channels. One other point I'd like to make is that we feel it's very unhelpful for there to be speculation on his medical condition- this means that I've asked for all comments to be pre-moderated, and if comments make secon hand speculation about his state of health we'll pull them. May seem a bit harsh, and I know everyone means well, but it's really not appropriate, Cheers Ant -- Ant Miller tel: 07709 265961 email: ant.mil...@gmail.com
[backstage] Ian Forrester Update: Thursday 20th May
We've heard today that Ian's had tests with good 'clear' results and is on the road to recovery. He's still under sedation in intensive care, but it's being gently reduced and we are hoping for yet more good news in the days ahead. When we have more solid information we'll share it here, and on the blog. For now, we're just glad to be able to pass this on, Thanks, Ant, Adrian and everyone in RD -- Ant Miller tel: 07709 265961 email: ant.mil...@gmail.com

Ian's been unwell over the past week or so and is currently recuperating in hospital. At the moment I don't really have anything more - he's taking it easy and will get back to everyone in due course when he's fighting fit again. If there's any BBC related issues, his line manager, Adrian, (cc'd in) should be able to assist or step in. I'll let you know when we hear more - as I said he's recovering a degree of of privacy would almost certainly be appreciated. You can leave him well-wishes here: http://bit.ly/a4MdIE Cheers, Tim Friend/Colleague/Flatmate - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Dear All As you may have heard Ian Forrester was taken ill last week and is now recuperating in Hope Hospital in Salford. At the moment he is in a serious but stable condition and is being well cared for by the hospital staff and his family. In the meantime out of respect for Ian’s family and for privacy during this time, please cease speculation on his condition. He is presently unable to have visitors and we will keep you updated when we hear anything more - until then please keep Ian in your thoughts.
