Hollering "C'mon, boy! Spit it out!!" is actually the worst thing to do. The kid already _knows_ he's supposed to get the words out, and hollering just adds pressure. And it's incredibly frustrating when it happens. You know the word, you know the sounds, but somehow the message from your brain to your vocal cords gets misrouted. I still stammer once in a great while, but I've learned to control it well enough that unless you heard me talk for a long time, you wouldn't know. In fact, I spent 20 years in various public speaking roles, and I think I had one person (who was also a stammerer) catch on.

When the first episode started, I thought they were showing Winston! Had they seen what George looked like? Very gaunt and thin, definitely not as weighty as the actor playing him. He could have lost a bit of weight, knowing the character he was about to play!

I suppose the real appearance of George VI wasn't considered important if he was only going to be in 2 episodes so the actor was picked for acting skills only. It's forgivable when you consider how much the rest of the cast do resemble their characters.
