FILM stammerer Michael Palin has met six youngsters being treated for the condition as part of a new BBC1 show.
Michael, 67, played speech-impaired Ken Pile in the 1988 comedy A Fish Called Wanda.
And after meeting the children for My Life: Stammer School, to be aired next Saturday, the Monty Python star said: “My father had a very severe stammer.
“His life might have been so different if he had had this therapy.”
On the kids, he added: “If children can leave here with their stammer reduced and confidence restored, it’s the best feeling you can have.”
