Tourettes: I swear I can sing, The Guardian

Ruth is a beautiful, intelligent teacher and singer from east london and she liveswith Tourettes syndrome. The emergence of her tics and rude outbursts caused her to quit a music course at university some years ago and now ishe is ready to try singing again, The one thing that banishes her symptoms. But there is no X Factor style sob story or false jeopardy needed with Ruth's clear eye perspective and mature delivery. The moment she explains her 'neurological disorder' to a disapproving man in the supermarket is ovation- worthy. Another brilliant BBC3 documentary. What is going on?
