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