-Elephant Man...	0:00:57	0:00:59
-..Michael Jackson, -Hole-InThe-Head Boy.	0:00:59	0:01:03

-They'll want me to do it -after this operation.	0:02:09	0:02:12
-George Clooney'll -have nothing on me then!	0:02:12	0:02:15

-This is the eye socket, this is -the nose, which has been affected...	0:03:03	0:03:08
-..by the original problem.	0:03:08	0:03:10
-The forehead and brow -are set too far back...	0:03:10	0:03:13
-..so we want to bring them forward -to make it look like other people's.	0:03:13	0:03:18
-Lean towards me a little way.	0:03:18	0:03:20

-Here you are in the incubator.	0:04:25	0:04:27
-It took them seven weeks -to find out what was wrong with you.	0:04:28	0:04:32
-They thought -they were polyps but they weren't.	0:04:32	0:04:36
-You had a tumour.	0:04:37	0:04:39
-They gave you chemo -but the tumour didn't shrink at all.	0:04:39	0:04:44

-They opened up your face.	0:04:50	0:04:52

-They removed the tumour.	0:04:59	0:05:01
-Since the age of four, Richard -has faced all kinds of procedures...	0:05:07	0:05:12

-You don't get so many people -staring at you anymore.	0:05:18	0:05:22
-Well, I do, but I can -put up with it a bit better now.	0:05:22	0:05:25
-It used to annoy me -when people would stare at you.	0:05:26	0:05:30

-You didn't do a thing. -"Just open your mouth."	0:05:32	0:05:35

-Someone might say something -and it used to anger me.	0:06:18	0:06:23
-He can't help the way he looks.	0:06:23	0:06:25
-If the person's suffering, -why make fun of that person?	0:06:26	0:06:32
-What for? -Just for a laugh with friends?	0:06:32	0:06:35
-But it's not a laugh, is it?	0:06:35	0:06:37
-After having the tumour removed -and knowing the cancer had gone...	0:06:42	0:06:47
-..Richard fell ill again -when he was four years old...	0:06:47	0:06:50

-# Happy birthday to you #	0:08:05	0:08:08
-Every birthday was special...	0:08:08	0:08:10
-..and Blodwen and David appreciated -every moment with their son.	0:08:11	0:08:15
-It was a close family unit.	0:08:16	0:08:18

-Who's best mate?	0:09:08	0:09:10
-Richard and his father -were exceptionally close...	0:09:10	0:09:13
-..especially when he helped Richard -deal with the bullying.	0:09:14	0:09:18
-He was -more of a best mate than a father.	0:09:18	0:09:21
-He told me not to listen to them. -He spoke at school dozens of times.	0:09:21	0:09:26
-I remember him -coming in one time during a lesson.	0:09:26	0:09:30
-They based the lesson on me.	0:09:30	0:09:32
-About my illness...	0:09:33	0:09:35
-..and why I looked the way I did.	0:09:36	0:09:39
-A lot of it stopped after that.	0:09:39	0:09:42
-There were -more and more spells in hospital...	0:09:43	0:09:46
-..and despite all the support, -the bullying continued.	0:09:46	0:09:50
-Richard left school at 13...	0:09:51	0:09:53
-..and was home schooled.	0:09:53	0:09:55

-..at Ysgol Y Bont, Llangefni...	0:10:18	0:10:22
-..as a classroom assistant.	0:10:22	0:10:25
-I was taken on -and stayed for three years.	0:10:25	0:10:28
-It always pained Dad -that I couldn't find employment.	0:10:28	0:10:32
-When he found out -I'd got the job in Ysgol Y Bont...	0:10:32	0:10:35
-..he was very proud -and told everyone about it!	0:10:36	0:10:40
-This tattoo -will be a constant reminder of him.	0:10:40	0:10:44
-Is this -where your father liked to come?	0:11:03	0:11:05
-Yes. He'd come every day.	0:11:06	0:11:07
-Yes. He'd come every day. - -Did he like coming for walks here?	0:11:07	0:11:10
-Yes. -He'd also go to the island to fish.	0:11:10	0:11:14
-Now there's someone else -in Richard's life...	0:11:16	0:11:19
-..who's just as supportive -as his father.	0:11:20	0:11:23
-We met on a dating site.	0:11:24	0:11:26
-I remember seeing a photo of Ffion, -thinking, should I message her?	0:11:27	0:11:32
-I jibbed out to begin with.	0:11:32	0:11:34
-But then I noticed -that she'd looked at my photo too...	0:11:34	0:11:38
-..so I decided to message her.	0:11:39	0:11:41
-When I saw his photo, -I thought he was a bad boy..	0:11:41	0:11:45
-..because of his scars, his nose...	0:11:46	0:11:48
-..and all his tattoos.	0:11:49	0:11:51
-We clicked straightaway.	0:11:52	0:11:54
-The saying's true - -never judge a book.	0:11:57	0:12:00
-I did, in his case, -but how wrong was I?	0:12:00	0:12:03
-He explained to me about the scars.	0:12:04	0:12:07
-They didn't bother me at all. -I just liked the person.	0:12:07	0:12:11
-We never have disagreements, -we never argue about anything.	0:12:11	0:12:15
-She's literally -the female version of me.	0:12:16	0:12:19
-I remember when I left you...	0:12:21	0:12:24
-..you sent me a message saying...	0:12:25	0:12:27
-.."Sorry I didn't give you a kiss."	0:12:27	0:12:30
-He says I ran away before -he had the chance to kiss me...	0:12:31	0:12:35
-..but you don't kiss -on the first date, do you?	0:12:35	0:12:38
-Aah, cute!	0:12:38	0:12:40

-I had another when I was about 10, -which was a skin graft...	0:18:45	0:18:50
-..on the top of my nose.	0:18:50	0:18:52
-I had one when I was 17, when they -took cartilage from my kidney...	0:18:53	0:18:57
-..to make a bridge for my nose.	0:18:57	0:18:59
-Then I had one two years ago...	0:19:00	0:19:02
-..to save one side of the bone -on my forehead...	0:19:03	0:19:06
-..to avoid having large implants.	0:19:07	0:19:09
-I've been waiting -for this operation for two years.	0:19:09	0:19:13
-It'll be nice to get it over with -so that I can get on with my life.	0:19:13	0:19:18
-Richard has been -under the knife for an hour...	0:19:18	0:19:23
-..and Mr Richardson, the surgeon, -has operated on him before.	0:19:23	0:19:27
-He's a very nice guy. He's -put up with a lot. Very stoical.	0:19:28	0:19:32
-He's a pleasure to treat.	0:19:32	0:19:34
-Richard's old scar -has been opened...	0:19:36	0:19:39
-..and they're ready to insert -the new implant in his forehead.	0:19:39	0:19:44
-I'm looking forward -to getting it over with.	0:19:44	0:19:47
-This is all new to me. I haven't -seen him have an op before.	0:19:47	0:19:51
-I don't know what to expect -when I see him, but I can't wait.	0:19:52	0:19:57
-This time, the implants...	0:19:57	0:20:00
-..are made from PVC and plastic.	0:20:00	0:20:03
-Hopefully it'll be a success.	0:20:03	0:20:05
-It's going very well.	0:20:07	0:20:09
-The implants are custom-made -just for Richard...	0:20:10	0:20:13
-..using his CT scan -as a three-dimensional image.	0:20:14	0:20:17
-So the model's printed -to a good fit to his skull shape.	0:20:17	0:20:22
-It's gone very well.	0:20:22	0:20:24
-We're concerned about infections...	0:20:24	0:20:27
-..because there's always a risk -and you can't eliminate that risk.	0:20:27	0:20:32
-With a bit of luck, he won't -get an infection this time...	0:20:32	0:20:36
-..and he'll have benefited -without needing anything else done.	0:20:37	0:20:42
-But so far, so good.	0:20:42	0:20:44
-I've never seen him with a forehead.	0:20:46	0:20:49
-It'll be a different Rich!	0:20:50	0:20:52
-A day after the surgery...	0:21:03	0:21:05
-..Ffion's stayed in Liverpool -to look after Richard.	0:21:05	0:21:10
-How do you feel?	0:21:10	0:21:11
-How do you feel? - -Great.	0:21:11	0:21:12
-I'm looking forward to getting the -scar cleaned and going for a wash.	0:21:13	0:21:17
-Well, he can finally go home.	0:21:21	0:21:23
-Glad to see the back of this place?	0:21:26	0:21:27
-Glad to see the back of this place? - -Oh, yes. Definitely.	0:21:27	0:21:29
-Give them a little wave.	0:21:29	0:21:31
-Home, James.	0:21:33	0:21:35
-It's three months -since Richard had his surgery...	0:21:47	0:21:51
-..and there have been major changes.	0:21:51	0:21:54
-Not only has his -facial reconstruction finished...	0:21:54	0:21:58
-..he now lives across the water -with Ffion in Caernarfon.	0:21:58	0:22:02
-Their focus now is on their wedding.	0:22:02	0:22:05
-Shame there are no suits for you.	0:22:05	0:22:07
-Shame there are no suits for you. - -Yes, but...	0:22:07	0:22:09
-..you'll have to -be in charge of that.	0:22:09	0:22:12
-It's a relief for Richard that -the implant has been a success.	0:22:12	0:22:16
-It felt odd at first...	0:22:16	0:22:19
-..because I no longer had a dip.	0:22:19	0:22:21
-It was more rounded off...	0:22:21	0:22:24
-..and it felt like I had -a large forehead at first...	0:22:24	0:22:28
-..because I wasn't used to it, -but it feels great now.	0:22:28	0:22:33
-I don't think many couples have gone -through what we've been through.	0:22:35	0:22:40
-It's been tough -but we've had each other.	0:22:40	0:22:43
-For me, he's a hero.	0:22:44	0:22:46
-He proves -that life is there for the taking...	0:22:46	0:22:50
-..and to enjoy every day.	0:22:50	0:22:52
-I was very aware -of how I looked years ago...	0:22:58	0:23:01
-..and felt -I had to fit into a certain image.	0:23:01	0:23:05
-But I don't care any more.	0:23:06	0:23:08
-People still stare, but not as bad.	0:23:10	0:23:13
-I don't let them bother me.	0:23:14	0:23:16
-I have confidence now -whereas I had none before.	0:23:23	0:23:27
-I look forward to getting married, -having children and buying a house.	0:23:27	0:23:32
-I want to live life to the full.	0:23:33	0:23:35
