Breathtaking, a new ITV drama, tells the story of frontline NHS staff battling to save patients in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It’s based on Dr Rachel Clarke’s memoir of her experience on the Covid wards.

The actor Joanne Froggatt - who plays Dr Abbey Henderson in the drama - and Dr Rachel Clarke joined Woman’s Hour’s Emma Barnett to explain why they wanted to make the three-part series now.

Breathtaking starts on ITV1 on Monday 19 February.

You can listen to the full interview on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds - it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 13 February.
