Tourettes: I Swear I Can't Help It is a QED documentary made by the BBC in 2009.[1]

Overview

[edit]

The film follows John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, and the changes in his life since the 1989 QED documentary John's Not Mad.[2] Another individual with Tourette syndrome, Greg, was filmed by his mother; his tics occasionally make him collapse or appear frozen. In this film, the pair meet and see how each copes with the condition.[3]
