** And Fergus! The poor guy could never catch a break or given a chance to fully flex his electrical-engineering awesomeness....then his smug little BitchInSheepsClothing psychiatrist had to tell him bluntly "You'll never work EVER!"....[[spoiler: So he kills himself.]]]] He's also TheAce, making him something of a ByronicHero.

Added DiffLines:

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Campbell, who has bipolar disorder, frequently uses the slogan "We are loonies and we are proud!" as a rallying cry and cheerfully refers to himself as a loony. This might seem unlikely to some viewers, but in real life some groups of mentally ill people - like the UK Mad Pride movement - are happy to reclaim and use words like mad, crazy or bonkers.

Not YMMV tropes.


* BigBad: [[spoiler: Ms. Evelyn [=MacDonald=] the Assistant Administrator]] is likely this.
* BigGood: The [[TheGhost completely unseen]] Dr. Winters is probably this. Unfortunately [[spoiler: she doesn't or can't do anything to thwart the shutdown of the Radio station or actually do anything in the story]]. She's little more that a plot element mentioned in passing a couple of times to Eddie to explain why the Radio station was re-opening to begin with (Winters seemed to be a decent person who was actually interested in promoting therapies and activities to help the patients, which Evelyn flippantly dismisses as 'Big Ideas' that'll never happen due to lack of funding).
* FunnyForeigner: Eddie's Grandma has shades of this. She's a bit quirky.
-->'''GRANDMA (To Eddie): [[https://youtu.be/Xlk3m29REwc?t=6m6s "*sniffs Ed's booze bottle* How do you drink this? I don't understand Scots boys. All night; You drink, huff and huff, speak loudly of your penises and vomit. In Lithuania; All boys drink vodka and then fall down quietly!"]]



* IconicOutfit: Campbell's most remembered piece of clothing is that [[https://i.ibb.co/WvXD2L8/windowscami-03.jpg colorful hoodie]] that resembled a crude ''Microsoft Windows'' logo.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Narm}}: The otherwise [[TearJerker very heavy]] scene where Campbell's father threatens to have him sectioned is slightly undercut by his agressively NinetiesHair completely covering his face.
