Did anyone see this on Channel 4 last Thursday night? My god it was funny. Keith Allen takes a bus load of Scottish Tourettes sufferers to France, via Canterbury Cathedral and other places. I watched it over a few ales with BBC and Tommy T, and was in stitches throughout! I am fully sympathetic to those with Tourettes, but this was always intended to show the 'humorous side of society's reaction to Tourettes', and so I had no problem being doubled up with laughter!
One of the best features of the show was each time someone shouted something out, such as 'Ape F*cker', that word/sentence would pop up in the middle of the screen in big bold letters! It was like some kinda kids' learning programme....bloody excellent. There's gotta be some clips of it on youtube...i'll have a look and post them if i find em.
Edit: Shit me there's loads! Just type 'Tourette De France' into youtube, and enjoy!
