Couldn't watch it as it would bring back too many memories - I suffered for many years from 6 - 10 ish and had to attend speech therapy once a week.
Being dragged out of lessons to attend therapy isn't easy as a kid.
Generally people think it is because you are scared or nervous which it is not - I still struggle with some words every now and again - which was a running joke with all my pals - which yuo learn to live with  |

It was a great show and I shared some tears with the people on it - they all seemed so lovely and I found it very moving. Such a big thing for them, such as the girl who cancelled her birthday party and who just wanted so much to be able to chat. Great tv. |

There are very few shows that bring me and the OH to tears, but this did it. My dad had a stammer and the frustration it caused for him was painful.
I actually felt really proud for the young Asian guy. Standing up in a crowd and speaking is nerve racking normally, let alone when he had such a bad speech impediment. It was very touching when you saw his mentor and father crying |

There were a few of our tears flowing from that show - great that we've shared that. I was amazed how each one of the people was so awesome and special in their own way. And their friends, and the teacher, as others have said. Tv gold really. |
