It took less than five minutes.
John Davidson, 54, was seated in the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday evening as an invited guest of BAFTA and the production team behind I Swear, the film based on his four decades living with severe Tourette's syndrome. The Prince and Princess of Wales were in the audience. So were several hundred of British cinema's most recognisable faces. And before the first award had been handed out, Davidson's vocal tics had already filled the room on 22 February 2026.
