With Jimmy McGovern you expect hard hitting drama but also some tenderness. Co-written with Gillian Juckes, this one off drama is based on Juckes real life experiences.

Sheridan Smith plays Jenny, a single mother of two young kids whose mother Mary (Alison Steadman) suffers from a stroke while driving a car.

Mary is left partly brain damaged, unable to function. At an assessment she eats a tea bag. The hospital wants to discharge her, a care home she goes to struggles to provide for her because of cutbacks.

Jenny struggles to deal with her mother at home. Her sister is of little help. When Jenny finds a decent care home, she finds herself fighting to get a continuing healthcare package to pay for her care.

It is gruelling viewing, the hospital, the care home are all reeling from the effects of government cutbacks.

What makes Care stand out is when Mary is appearing to be speaking gibberish, her thoughts get translated. At an assessment her thoughts tells the viewer that she wants to go home, they are not looking after her in the hospital.

I was put off by the soft filtered look of the drama. I have no idea why it was done this way.

Why do they have to make movies slmost impossible to see!.. especially if you're watching during the day.

A good story with excellent acting spoilt by being so rediculously dark!🙄

The movie looked good, but it was like watching a nighttime movie. Too dark . Dusappointing

Two incredible actresses with a heart wrenching and compassionate script which they deliver brilliantly. I cried throughout and felt the pain Sheridan Smith portrayed. Superb drama from the BBC.

Having just spent half of the last month in the excellent Princess Royal Hospital, which serves the London Borough of Bromley I was in a position to witness their inability, due to funding inadequacies, to fully cater for the needs of geriatric patients.

Luckily at the age of 66 I was considered worth saving but I was left wondering how I would have been cared for if I had been five years older.

British voters need to realise that this is a snapshot of the current regime that is running our NHS into the ground.

Well done to the BBC.

Exceptional performances from everybody. Every single scene is heartbreaking to watch. One of th best TV Dramas I've ever seen.

Watched this some time ago and found it to be such a good watch, accurately portraying the struggles of the less fortunate under yet another Tory government. For those that despise the license fee and moan about the BBC, this is the BBC at it's best. Just as the NHS and social care are shown here to be underfunded it's government underfunding that's causing the removal of the license fee, it's not the BBC's fault. Watch this and see the real state of Britain at the moment and pray a similar situation doesn't befall you in the next few years. Then get your hands on a copy of Boy's From The Blackstuff and wonder why people keep voting these people in.
