Jimmy McGovern has written a new drama about a single mum who also becomes a carer.

[HelenaDove]

To be broadcast on Sunday 9th December. From the trailer i saw it also seems to include the emotional blackmail carers are sometimes faced with by some members of the medical profession re. things like "bed blocking" etc

Stars Sheridan Smith and Alison Steadman.

Will be watching with interest...

.

Looks like it will make me want to kick the telly. I don't think I can watch

You can see in the trailer how shes being emotionally blackmailed because they need the bed.

This has happened to a lot of carers Quite a few on here have talked about relatives being discharged at 3am.

Sounds good, will look out for it

She looks like a very sterotypical single mum though which is starting to piss me off.
Frumpy, over worked, roots, working class, poor. It’s tio much sometimes and just reinforces the stereotype
