Hi r/stutter! I'm looking for a documentary about stuttering that aired maybe 6-8 years ago. It was possibly British, where they followed different people around in their daily lives. One man only could talk normally without a stutter to his newborn baby but no one else.

Hi r/stutter! I'm looking for a documentary about stuttering that aired maybe 6-8 years ago. It was possibly British, where they followed different people around in their daily lives. One man only could talk normally without a stutter to his newborn baby but no one else. Hi r/stutter! I watched this one about 6-8 years ago. I think it was a British documentary - one family was Indian but spoke English. I think it was the daughter who was stuttering in that family, but might have been a son. She or he was frustrated with his mother keeping on guessing what she/he was going to say. Another stuttering person was a white man, he had it really bad. He tried calling the dentist to book a meeting (while the camera team was recording), and he was stuttering so bad that the dentist office thought it was a prank call and hung up on him. He stuttered to his wife, but then when they had a baby he suddenly didn't stutter! I think it was a son, but it also might have been a daughter. I think the father's name was Benjamin, or possibly his child. Or a name starting with B! I recall a shot of him sitting on the couch in the living room with the baby on its back on his lap, with his (the father's) face all lit up and joyful, talking normally to his baby. Hopefully someone here has seen the same documentary! :) Thanks
