"Television is a great form of escapism for me. It helps take my mind off everything for a while and I just get lost in the story, so it’s a good way to switch off from whatever else may be going on. Because of my health, I don’t get out as much as I used to, so it gives me something to talk about with the Nurses or when I have visitors, too. Meeting some of the Blue Lights cast in person was a real treat. I love the show, the characters, and the fact that it’s based in NI makes it so relatable. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in the new series.” - Simon, who is living with a parotid gland tumour, was overjoyed when stars from BBC police drama, Blue Lights, visited our Belfast hospice last week
