Best Interests
Created by Jack Thorne
On BBC One
A concentrated, legally-framed family drama that grapples directly with mortality, autonomy, and the collision between medical judgment and familial love.
Marnie has a life-threatening condition. The doctors believe it is in her best interests to be allowed to die, but her loving family disagree. And so begins a fight that will take them through every stage of a legal process, as they struggle to contemplate this huge decision. Who decides? And in whose best interests will it be?
