I wondered how they got over there...
given our now pc airlines, i,m surprised they managed
A) to get on the plane without uttering the word bomb
b) wernt disruptive on the flight
i think one of them from what i saw, just needed a good bit of discipline

Laughed a lot at the swearing and verbal abuse but also saw the serious side, ticks like they had are no laughing matter. Some didn't seem too bad but one of the girls could hardly keep her head still, and when she had first been diagnosed with the problem didn't go out of her house for a year. That must have been a very scary time for her and no kids deserve that sort of fear. The 6 year old little girl seemed intelligent and at the same time a sweet kid, not some foul mouthed chav like some posters on here are associating the kids with. I dread to think what it must be like to see your kid have to go through it especially at such an innocent age as 6 years old.

I'm glad the TV program made for entertaining viewing

In all seriousness I did think the program was well balanced. Yes, we had a laugh but also learned a bit. For instance, I didn't realise that a lot of Tourettes sufferers also had problems with obsessive compulsive behaviour.
And, as someone else pointed out, they found each others tics hilarious
