We are in Glasgow, Tom, Mum and me, for the Royal College of Psychiatrists annual conference. Tom has just introduced his own film on stage to rows and rows of shrinks, he wasn't as confident as he thought he was going to be, but bloody hell, it wasn't bad for his first proper formal public speaking engagement. I have to rush in and do a panel talk with him now, but will update with more anecdotes (including buying flash trainers and a visit to the hairdressers). Toodle pip for now.
Attached, a picture of Tom, Prof Angela Hassiotis and me, last night, after a few wines (us not Angela).
Kate and Will Spicer's brother, Tom, has fragile X syndrome, the commonest cause of inherited learning disability. He is also a massive fan of Lars Ulrich from Metallica. We made a promise to Tom that we would find Lars. Tom's dream is our promise. We went on a Mission to Lars. And we filmed it.

more coming soon
After Mission to Lars aired on Film4 this week I got a leedle bit of flack for not updating the blog. Weeeeel, me and Tom are going on a roadtrip to Scotland this weekend to see ladies in kilts doing Scottish country dancing, and I fully intend to fill you all in on our adventures and some of the resultant effects on Tom of making the film. Sorry we've been a bit rubbish but making a low budget film is an expensive business, it's not low budget (for us) at all, and I've been busy making rent money.
More stories and an update on where Tom's at now coming soon (ie, around Wednesday).
Thanks for giving a shit.
