A woman loses it behind the wheel, crashes and dies. Her son is in a care home, where awful things are going on. In parallel a dead dementia patient is found to have been overdosed, and there's (eventually) a link to the care home. One Day was written by Tim Prager (he did the social work episode Protection as well, the grooming one And Then I Fell in Love, Safe, gang violence in Brixton, and Identity, immigrant crisis) and it's another disturbing one, buoyed by excellent performances from Toby Sams-Friedman and Rosie Jones, and from Charlie Creed-Miles and Sara Powell. A lyrical moment at the Great Conservatory at Syon House turns sour when police marksmen get involved.
