DOCUMENTARY

C4, 9pm Little Tallulah was born prematurely at 27 weeks and is kept alive by a ventilator attached to a tube in her neck.

Three times her parents have been told that she might not make it, but she has been battling against the odds to survive.

Filmed over the year when the Charlie Gard case gripped the nation, this powerful documentary delves into both sides of the debate over whether it is ever right to let a baby die. Medics at Southampton Children’s Hospital’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit have opened their doors to allow cameras to see the cases they have to deal with – and to meet children and parents facing this unthinkable dilemma.

There are distressing scenes, such as when Tallulah is briefly starved of oxygen while her parents clean and change her breathing tube.

Elsewhere, we meet Max, who survives on the edge of medical technology, and Mimi, who has a potentially fixable heart defect.
