Description

All five episodes from the 12th series of the BBC drama created by Jimmy McGovern. Each episode tells a self-contained contemporary story in which the characters have reached a turning point in their lives and are trying to move on. McGovern's themes are dark and disturbingly close to home, the issues complex and provocative. They range from a long-lost father to a secret family; from finding a new lease of life to harmful neglect. With humour and sincerity, these standalone dramas tell touching stories of people at a crossroads.
