Poppy Shakespeare (http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/P/poppy_shakespeare/) - I saw this the other week, I haven't seen a one off drama this good in a long time. It's one of those bitter sweet dramas, well it was for me anyway. Considering the subject matter it had some really light and funny moments. Often mental health issues aren't portrayed in a very sympathetic light in dramas but I thought this handled it well. It's hard to explain why but this one really grabbed me. It was helped a lot by the two lead actresses who were brilliant - Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean / 28 Days Later) and Anna Maxwell Martin (Bleak House).
I meant to start a thread about this before after I had seen it - it's on tonight on More4 at 9pm so if you've nothing else to watch I would recommend it.
