Joanne Froggatt Instagram – I am so proud to be a part of this show, I hope it goes some way, to telling the real story of our NHS front line workers. I realise this will be incredibly triggering for some people, but if you are able to watch, please do as this is all dramatised from truth and Is a story we shouldn’t look away from. 🙏 Coming to ITV soon!
In this drama, Joanne will take on the role of consultant doctor in the NHS in the midst of the greatest public health crisis in living memory. Breathtaking is penned by Bodyguard and Line of Duty scribe Jed Mercurio and co-written with Prasanna Puwanarajah and palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke, best-selling author and based on her COVID memoir novel of the same name.
Inspired by Clarke’s searing, unflinching and poignant account of a doctor who looked after the most gravely unwell patients on the Covid-19 wards of her hospital, as she mentions ‘there’s been a lot of misinformation and rewriting of history around what really happened inside our hospitals during the pandemic. The truth is, NHS staff gave everything they had in impossible conditions that sometimes cost them their lives. It is an honour to try & depict the courage & decency of my NHS colleagues on screen. #NHS #ITV #HTM | Posted on 19/Jan/2024 01:16:23
