The one-off two-hour drama is written by Jack Thorne, who is known for His Dark Materials, and is set in Jodie and Stephen's hometown of Liverpool.

Jodie stars as care home worker Sarah, who forms a connection with one of the residents Tony, played by Stephen Graham, who is facing Young Onset Alzheimer's.

The official synopsis reads, "A determined Sarah goes to extraordinary lengths to protect those in her care, whose conditions make their suffering and isolation all the more traumatic.

"But the staff's unwavering commitment, compassion and heroic efforts can only do so much, and Sarah is pushed into a dark corner and desperately looks for a way out."

Speaking on his involvement in the series, Stephen Graham said in a statement, "Jack is one of the greatest and most truthful writers of our generation and in Help, he has crafted a profoundly important piece of social realism.
