Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen disagree over terminally ill daughter. Four part BBC drama. Points of view well expressed, but to us it was always a no-brainer.
Ill daughter to well one: "I don't mind if you hate me."
Good stuff between Sheen and independent welfare officer with thalidomide fallout Mat Fraser (though he doesn't do anything in court?)
Good cast also includes Alison Oliver and Niamh Moriarty (elder and younger daughters), Noma Dumezweni (head clinician), Chizzy Akudolu, Lisa McGrillis (Mum), Pippa Heywood.
I have to say that Jack Thorne is absolutely prolific at the moment. In addition to this he has two west End plays running: 'The Motive and the Cue' about the conflict between director /actor John Gielgud with Richard Burton, and 'When Winston Went to War with the Wireless'. And apparently is to write a new adaptation of 'Lord of the Flies' for TV.
