I liked it too. My son's girlfriend works in a care home and was absolutely terrified last March as they didn't have any PPE at all, for a very long time. I sewed them a mask each and sent them sanitiser etc, everything I could get my hands on. Remember the paracetamol shortage? They were like gold. That reminds me, the forehead thermometers are supposed to be ineffective, I need to get different ones. Many of her residents died, sadly.

After the harrowing scenes in the care home, I thought it got a bit fanciful but it was a drama so I suppose to they have to make a story.

I agree, Kate1949. It did seem to lose its way at the end.

I liked it. The two leading actors are amazing. After the harrowing scenes in the care home, I thought it got a bit fanciful but it was a drama so I suppose to they have to make a story.

The last thing I want to watch is a covid drama. I'd like to pretend we're still living in a covid free world with my TV viewing.

I’m watching. It’s harrowing, isn’t it?

It's called Help. Started at 9 on Channel 4.

Anyone watching this?

Very compelling and so tragic.
