Description
In June, 2023, BBC One aired Jack Thorne's highly anticipated series Best Interests, the fictional story of Marnie (played by Niamh Moriarty), a teenager with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, whose rapid health deterioration forces her family to face the complexity of reaching a decision regarding what next steps are in her best interest. The medical team feel that withdrawing ventilation, to allow Marnie to die, is the best (and only) course of action but her mother Nicci (Sharon Horgan) disagrees, prompting a legal hearing.
