One of the stars of the first episode of Channel 4's Geordie Hospital is Kit Matthews, then aged four.
The little lad - from Retford in the Midlands - features as he and his family prepare for him to be moved from one version of an artificial heart to another more flexible machine as he waits for a transplant.
The show was filmed last year, and Kit has now had that transplant and is "going from strength to strength" - but as his story is told on TV both his family and the consultant who looked after him at the Freeman Hospital are keen to highlight just how important organ donation is.
