This one-off drama, starring former pop singer Billie Piper, explores the issues faced by young people growing up in care.
It tells the story of Lee, Martin and Bella, who live together in a residential home, and how their relationship changes as they get older. Young people from the Leaving Care and Mentoring Project in Lewisham, in southeast London, were consulted on the script and also played extras.
The programme is part of Taking Care, a two-week season on BBC TV and radio that offers insights into the lives of children in care and adult care-leavers.
