Anyone else see this on C4 last night? It was fascinating, and really moving to see all the Tourette kids having a good time together and being themselves in a relaxed atmosphere.
One little mistake the documentary made was to say that John Davidson (the guy in 'John's Not Mad' in the late 80s, the first programme to bring Tourette's to public view) was Britain's most famous Touretter until Pete came along last May.
They forgot about Tim Howard, the goalkeeper who played for Man Utd from 2003 till he signed for Everton last summer. I'd say many more British people have heard of him than John D, so John was only the UK's most famous T-sufferer till 2003.
Top programme though!
