StudioCanal were working closely with BAFTA, and BAFTA had made us all aware that any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast. I have made four documentaries with the BBC in the past, and feel that they should have been aware of what to expect from Tourette's and worked harder to
prevent anything that I said - which, after all, was some 40 rows back from the stage from being included in the broadcast.
As I reflect on the auditorium, I remember there was a microphone just in front of me, and with hindsight I have to question
whether this was wise, so close to where I was seated, knowing I would tic.
@semicolonexpected, an asian woman, shared the link and image below. I mention that she's asian bc so few asians will stand up alongside Black People so it's good for others and I to hear that some do.
