If you think NHS wait times are crazy, hear this: Harley Street doctor Sir Colenso Ridgeon's has found - he thinks - a cure for tuberculosis but it's stil in its experimental stages and he can only select 10 patients to trial it on and potentially save their lives.
He devises is own definition of what makes a worthy patient but when Jennifer Dubedat persuades him to consider her artist husband, Sir Ridgeon hauls him before his colleagues to assess his merit. They are charmed but Dubedat may have some moral shortcomings that warrant debate as there may be another worthy, if less exceptional, candidate.
Director Nadia Fall has some great ideas on morality and medicine which she talks to Naima Khan about in this here interview.
