Gordon and Paula - Ticked Off

Fi Glover presents a conversation between partners Gordon and Paula, who cope with the strain of living with Gordon's Tourette's Syndrome through humour, which occasionally fails.

Fi Glover presents a conversation between partners Gordon and Paula, about the strains of dealing with Gordon's Tourette's Syndrome, proving again that it's surprising what you hear when you listen. They cope mainly through humour, though it occasionally fails.

The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not 大象传媒 interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject

Producer: Marya Burgess.
