    Lousy camera work

    The movie looked good, but it was like watching a nighttime movie. Too dark . Dusappointing

    Highlights the many failings caused by Tory Faux Austerity

    Having just spent half of the last month in the excellent Princess Royal Hospital, which serves the London Borough of Bromley I was in a position to witness their inability, due to funding inadequacies, to fully cater for the needs of geriatric patients.

    Luckily at the age of 66 I was considered worth saving but I was left wondering how I would have been cared for if I had been five years older.

    British voters need to realise that this is a snapshot of the current regime that is running our NHS into the ground.

    Well done to the BBC.

    Heartbreakingly strong performances

    Exceptional performances from everybody. Every single scene is heartbreaking to watch. One of th best TV Dramas I've ever seen.

    Another quality piece from the BBC

    Watched this some time ago and found it to be such a good watch, accurately portraying the struggles of the less fortunate under yet another Tory government. For those that despise the license fee and moan about the BBC, this is the BBC at it's best. Just as the NHS and social care are shown here to be underfunded it's government underfunding that's causing the removal of the license fee, it's not the BBC's fault. Watch this and see the real state of Britain at the moment and pray a similar situation doesn't befall you in the next few years. Then get your hands on a copy of Boy's From The Blackstuff and wonder why people keep voting these people in.

    Incredible acting

    Two incredible actresses with a heart wrenching and compassionate script which they deliver brilliantly. I cried throughout and felt the pain Sheridan Smith portrayed. Superb drama from the BBC.
