UNDER THE KNIFE

Saving Lives In Leeds, 9pm, BBC2 TONIGHT, we meet a man having surgery on a suspected cancerous growth on his adrenal gland (urgent), and a man who has waited more than 18 months for a cranioplasty to replace part of his skull (non-urgent). Even when the surgeries aren’t considered urgent, the medics make room for special cases — you’ll need to steel yourself for the heartbreaking story of seven-year-old Brooklyn and his dad, Craig.
