Breathtaking star Joanne Froggart on heartbreaking new Covid drama - 'I cried reading the script'


Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt stars in ITV's new coronavirus drama Breathtaking - and reveals that nothing has affected her like this series in "27 years of reading scripts"

Jed, best known for creating Line Of Duty, was determined to bring a truthful account of medical workers’ experience during the pandemic to the screen. The three-part drama follows Abbey and other NHS workers throughout the crisis, from coping with shortages of personal protective equipment to caring for their colleagues who contract the virus on the front line. (Image: chris barr) Rachel, whose experience during the pandemic is portrayed in the drama, hopes Breathtaking will bring justice for her colleagues – and NHS workers across the country – who lost their lives to the virus.
