00:00Alan Cumming has said the headline-making BAFTA Film Awards ceremony was trauma-triggering, adding,
00:06We were all let down by decisions made to both broadcast slurs and censor-free speech.
00:12During the ceremony in London, while Sinners stars Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan were presenting,
00:17Scottish campaigner John Davidson, who has Tourette's Syndrome, shouted a racial slur, which was broadcast on the BBC.
00:24Davidson was at the BAFTAs representing the film I Swear, which tells the story of his life with Tourette's, which
00:31he developed when he was 12.
00:33He has described feeling mortified by what happened, and said in an interview with Variety that the BBC should have
00:39worked harder to ensure his racial slur was not broadcast.
