Julie Walters stars in a one-off drama inspired by the true story of Dr Anne Turner, who in 2006 took her own life in a Zurich clinic having developed an incurable degenerative disease.

Having recently witnessed the death of her husband from a neurological disease, Anne Turner is diagnosed with a near-identical illness and determines to end her life once her condition has reached a critical point.

As her health deteriorates, Anne's son and two daughters struggle to reach a consensus over their mother's intentions and while they search for alternative options, silent recriminations and stubborn practicality threaten to tear the family apart. With her family at logger heads, Anne must also face the fury of her best friend, whose opposing views bring them into direct conflict.

But I've set V+plus to record it. Anything with Julie Walters in is bound to be quality.

Personally, I don't have any issues with the right of someone to choose this for themselves. It's not upto us to decide how someone else lives or dies.

Absolutely agree. The horror of my active mind in a broken body, or the slow decline into severe dementia is intolerable to me, nor would I want to become a burden on my friends and family.

It should be - and is for me - a personal decision, not up for discussion or objective attempts to be swayed by others.

What is the question asking, would I like a short stay in Switzerland? I'd love one.

If, as I suspect, you are asking do I agree with people's right to choose how they die then I agree 100% with Hecate above.

The drama itself was brilliant TV, and had me in tears.

i agree wholeheartely with taking ones own life if diagnosed with some sort of terminal illness, i havent watched it as yet i recorded it and have yet to veiw, im sure julie walters will be at her best as always.

I agree. I also thought Julie Walters gave a fantastic performance as Dr Anne Turner.

i realy enjoyed watching a short stay in switzerland, and julie walters was superb as dr anne turner, i cried as she was taking the meds to end her life.

A very moving and thought provoking drama. Julie Walters was outstanding as always.
