Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe point about the Earnshaws needing their mother to hang on for another three months relates to UK Inheritance Tax. No tax is payable on any gift given more than seven years before the giver dies. If however, the giver dies within seven years, tax can be applied retrospectively. There is a sliding scale, known as taper relief, so that if the giver dies six years after the gift (as here), the tax rate is 8% (from a maximum of 40%).
In the case of large transfers (eg a property), even after various allowances are taken into account, 8% can amount to a significant sum.
- GoofsAfter a death, a pulse is checked using a thumb. You should never take a pulse using your thumb as it has its own pulse.
- Quotes
Sister Gilpin: I mean, all these managers, all they think about is movement isn't it? Like the hospital system is just some giant bowel that has to keep pumping out shit.

Featured review
Poor reflection of a profession
I do not feel this film is heartwarming. I do not feel that nurse Gilpin or any of the characters except Dr Valentine show any humanity, empathy or kindness to any of the elderly in the Beth. I feel so sad and disheartened after 42 years of nursing that this is how nurses are portrayed by the media. We might as well all give up now! The sole person showed to care was the doctor...how does that play out in reality. It is such a poor reflection on care in the NHS. It paints such a bleak picture for both the elderly and for those who work in that speciality. There truly was nothing humorous or heartwarming. In fact lets all board the flight to Switzerland now!
