Cant Wait to watch! I've looked up to you since i first started to stammer when i was 6 up until now that i'm 16 Thanks for the help:) Please follow me on twitter @aileenh107 cheers!:)

Cant wait to watch it! Especially as Im in it! :) follow me on twitter @shafmysterrr thanks.

Your not the only one in it pal ha... Can't wait to watch it myself, see the change for the 5 of us :-)

I'm really excited to the show . My school teachers and family are going off their heads for it too. I'm really nervous about seeing myself on tv, however. I am very excited, though. I'm also looking forward to seeing you're stories as well. :D

Hi All . I am really happy about seeing the documentary. It will be a big change for the 5 of us I think.

In tears here, you guys are awesome. You all did really well in the program and should be extremely proud of everything you have achieved.

Having a stammer myself, I know how difficult it can be at times, so well done to everyone involved. x

What an amazing documentary. I have been deeply touched by this programme, Gareth Gates..... you are an inspiration to all those who suffer stammering. So glad you are helping others. Cannot believe the awesome results. Keep up the good work. x

Fantastic programme. The participants deserve every success they were brilliant. How do people who have never stammered help stammerers as this technique seems to only use people who used to stammer?

Great programme, and what was even greater was seeing the progress made by all who were part of it. I have no connection with what is a terrible affliction, but it was deeply touching. You should be incredibly proud!

Stop my stutter - fantastic. I am in admiration of those who took part in the programme and for Gareth for giving back to those in the same position as he was. Well done 成人快手3 for bringing this and others in the series to us.

Excellent programme Gareth. Truly inspirational. Clearly the successes of those who took part in the film with you has given you as much satisfaction and delight as your own achievements in overcoming your own stammer. Needs to be repeated very soon!

I am Programme Leader for a primary and early years PGCE and would be interested in talking to Sarah Webster if she is serious about pursuing a teaching career - looking at the way she engaged the group of children with her story telling I think she should!

How do I find out more information about the course? Would be very keen to do it myself. Does anyone have a link please?
Much appreciated.

Inspirational. Oh yeah!

Well done Gareth mate. We'll never know how many people this programme has touched or helped, but of course it has to be 'a lot.' You and all concerned can be proud that you have done a superb job.

I'm a lucky guy I guess. I've always found it easy to talk to anyone, on any level and at any time, and I'd just taken it for granted until a good friend of mine pointed out that not everyone found it so easy.

Long ago I realised it was a blessing and have tried to share this 'gift' or 'skill' ever since. So Gareth, keep doing what yer doing please!

Just one thing. Advise your pupils not to get too despondent if they get a negative response when approaching members of the public . . . often it's nothing to do with your stammer . . . it's just because you're a stranger.

We're now living in a culture of perpetuated fear and just the innocent act of approaching someone we don't know to ask for the time or maybe directions, is immediately met with suspicion, and the inevitable cold shoulder. Oh hum sad but true.

Well done y'all

Marc: you can find more information about the costal breathing technique and programmes that teach it via the British Stammering Association at

I hope this helps!

Hi Gareth. I found your programme deeply moving but truly heartwarming. You are so focussed to improve other stammerers lives! You have matured into such a motivated inspiring individual. You should be so proud of overcoming your own disability! Well bloody done!

I Watched this last night and cried I am now 31 and have been stuttering since I was 4 when I copied a girl at Nursery. I am now in a professional job and do a lot of telephone work. I am very out going but still I come accross Ignorant minded little people who talk over me!!! or finish my sentences which as you know is very frustrating. I had Hypnotherepy in 2007 which helped a lot but my Stutter came back after a Trauma. I am now seeking help again as I want to say My Wedding Vowes and make all my Family and Friends so very proud of me.
This programme was such an eye opener as you fell like you are the only one in the world. The Kings Speech has helped and has opened up many proples eyes.
If there is anything you can send me or advice can you please contact me??
Even though I have a Stutter I would never say it is a Disability and frown upon those who do.

SHIVSY1981: You should let people describe stammering/stuttering as a disability if they feel that this is an appropriate term. There is no precise legal definition of what a disabiltiy is, instead anything can be a disabiltiy provided it has the requiste impact on a person's life - for some people with a sever stammer it may be perfectly justifiable to refer to it as a disability.

It's also unlikely that you picked up a stammer from copying a girl at nursery. It's actually quite common for children to stammer when they are young and then grow out of it. Stammering has a genetic aspect to it so it's more likely that you were pre-disposed to stammering and then didn't grow out of it.

You should look at the website of the British Stammering Association which has lots of information on therapies, coping mechanisms and support networks across the UK. The BSA also has a page on the technique taught in this programme, costal breathing, at

I鈥檝e not stopped thinking about this programme since I saw it last night. I stammered from childhood through to my late teens when desperation led me into a long period of elocution, The King鈥檚 Speech style. Practice, practice and more practice has left me virtually fluent 鈥� the only word that sometimes causes me trouble now is my given name. Gareth is right about asking for what you can say rather than what you want. I prefer my coffee white but for years I鈥檇 only have black coffee because I had real trouble with the 鈥渒鈥� sound. I couldn鈥檛 say 鈥渃offee鈥�, but 鈥渂lack-offee鈥� was easy.

I鈥檓 now 51 and I regularly give presentations, often to large audiences, sometimes even to hostile ones, and I enjoy it every time. I don鈥檛 use a script, I say what I want and make up jokes along the way.

I鈥檇 like to give a special message to Sarah, whose experience of stammering and her doubts and uncertainties seem very close to my own when I was her age. I felt as though I could be fluent. I was so close, and then some word, some interruption, would throw me off balance and I鈥檇 be a wreck. Like her I became incredibly adept at finding alternative words, or re-casting sentences very quickly. The difference between us is that what took me six to nine months to achieve she did in five days. That鈥檚 fantastic. I hope Sarah does go on to teach. If I鈥檇 had a teacher with her understanding of what it鈥檚 like to stammer my life might have been very different.

Finally, thank you 成人快手 for not ending with 鈥淚f the issues discussed in this programme have affected you, please telephone...鈥�

What an inspiration! Can't believe how far Gareth has come since that first appearance on Pop Idol! I felt I had to watch this programme ... my 11 year old son is a constant target for bullies since developing his stammer & with secondary school etc on the cards, his confidence has been at rock bottom. Watching this with him tonight was emotional for us both. He watched it intently, spoke about how inspired he felt by Gareth and the amazing people who showed determination and bravery throughout the programme. It helped us to open up to each other - he found himself practiing his breathing while watching the programme and trying simple techniques. It was amazing to watch - during he programme he managed a 10 minete phonecall with his uncle without stammering once. Absolutely incredible! It has given us both hope and he has gone to bed a very happy young man ;) Thankyou all of you xxxxxx

Tom, about getting the students to speak to strangers. The whole point of the exercise is that it is a tricky situation, and not everyone will want to speak to them (for whatever reason), but that it doesn't matter. It wasn't obvious due to tv editing, but the students build up to the point where they go out and about on the street, starting in "safer" environments.

You will notice that although the students might start out worried that it's too difficult, or anxious that people don't want to speak to them, they are elated by the end, because managing to speak to lots of people is a big achievement. It's all about facing fears, and that accepts that some people are too busy, too wary of strangers, or plain rude.
