This year, 'magnificent' Golden Globe winner JOANNE FROGGATT took on the role of a palliative care doctor in the NHS in the midst of the greatest public health crisis in living memory in ITV's critically-acclaimed BREATHTAKING, penned by Bodyguard and Line of Duty scribe Jed Mercurio and co-written with palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke, best-selling author and based on her searing, unflinching and poignant COVID memoir novel of the same name. (Evening Standard)
The moving three-part series pays tribute to sacrifices made by NHS staff during the Covid-19
pandemic, revealing the reality of hospital life in the face of momentous challenges. The Times
wrote: 'Ultimately Breathtaking soars above politics. It’s really about love. The three episodes
manage to distil an enormous range of human relationships into small exchanges and gestures,
and what lingers is the effort of the medics to bear witness to these final farewells. It reminds us
that there really is a society. A tough watch, but one that deserves to win all the awards.'
Joanne is a Golden Globe and British Independent Film Award winner and three times EMMY
nominee beloved for her performance as lady’s maid ‘Anna Bates’ in DOWNTON ABBEY, where she will return for the third film in the franchise on the 12th September 2025, following on from the success of the first two box office smash film adaptations which topped the US, UK and Australian box offices in their opening weekend.
She also won acclaim for her ‘Meryl-Streep level performance’ in LIAR for ITV and SundanceTV
