    Raw and unflinching
    I find myself wanting to thank the writer of this heart wrenching programme for creating something as bold and unflinching as 'Three Families'.

    The empathy with which this often contested issue is handled is a real testament to its direction and the wonderful actors. I would advise everyone with a uterus (and everyone who knows someone with a uterus) to watch this brilliant piece of real-life drama. 10/10.
