In the six-programme TV series The Mind Traveller (BBC2, 9.30 pm on Thursdays
starting 31 October), neurological sleuth Oliver Sacks, of Awakenings fame, takes up a
different case study every week. If you missed the first programme, make sure
you tune in next Wednesday (BBC2, 9.30 pm) for Shane’s story. Shane has Tourette
syndrome, but he channels his involuntary movements into karate, rather than
damp them with drugs. He is convinced that Elvis was a fellow sufferer who used
pelvic thrusts to control his own tics. The ebullient Sacks is sometimes
overeager to force pat theories onto the disorders he is trying to unravel, but
luckily the series focuses more on his natural relationships with the people
with whom he works.
