The NHS: A People’s History

BBC FOUR, 9.00PM

Among the rash of programmes celebrating the NHS’S 70th birthday, this cheerful history series has been both gripping and emotional. This finale recalls the milestones of the past 21 years. Host Alex Brooker, who was born with deformities and without a bone in his right leg, pays tribute to the surgeons who have given him mobility. It’s a warm but honest look at the challenges facing the service.
