【David Seidler, best known for his Oscar-winning writing on The King’s Speech, has died aged 86, according to reports.

The London-born screenwriter, who had a stammer growing up, was inspired to write about the true story of how King George VI overcame his speech impediment with a speech and language therapist.】

Bugger, and valé. A brilliant screenplay, and the fact that he stammered as a child means he understood the topic, rather than just read about it. We absolutely loved every aspect of The King's Speech., from start to finish.
