BBC4 - Skies above Britain

[Gemma7]

An aircraft controller says 'Controllers are a nightmare to live with, honestly I feel so sorry for the other halves, we are all very similar people, you know we are OCD, most controllers have the tidiest most immaculate houses you'll ever think, we are control freaks.' 

Dear BBC editing team,

Please just leave this on the cutting room floor, it's completely unnecessary chaff that's littered with inaccuracies spoiling a distinctly average programme. 

Yours sincerely 

An OCD sufferer

This kind of thing is so incredibly infuriating  I feel that understanding of mental health has come a long way but for some reason ocd is still treated like a quirky joke.

When was that on?

We need to log and complain.

What was weird was after that comment they focused on a woman with anxiety about flying and later a man with a physical disability, so it's not as if they aren't trying to do a good job. I don't know why OCD flies under the radar

I know it's not that funny, but you've got to laugh over crying!
