I see a lot of appreciation for James McAvoy here, and it’s well deserved. But Sharon Horgan’s performance should not be overlooked or outshined by him. This was brilliant. The recognition she’s FINALLY getting is definitely earned.
As someone that VERY nearly lost an uncle to Covid, and seeing every family member’s response (not just my own)… This was heartbreaking. Luckily, my uncle survived, but he’s STILL in physical therapy after coming out of it months ago. They doubt he’ll ever be the same. That’s something a lot of people don’t understand about this illness. Sometimes even when you survive it, it can still disable you for life.
It happens a lot in elderly care - that initial infection or fall or injury that requires treatment and time in hospital (and less mobile), the person can never quite get back to the strength they had before and end up in a spiral of further weakness, illness.
@@telectronix1368 My Mom passed away in Sep. 2018 at the age of 94, three days after breaking her pelvis in a fall. You are told that it can happen quickly but even then it was a shock how quickly. I was in the room with her but I was reading and only realized that her raspy breathing had stopped. In retrospect, I was glad that, despite the pain she had experienced, it was fast and, in the end, peaceful. Mom had Alzheimer’s and after 10 years of caring for her, she had reached to point where I knew that it was only weeks before I would have to find a place for her. She was experiencing paranoia and almost constantly fear in our home because, aside from me, she recognized nothing around her any more.
And, of course, with COVID, she wouldn’t have been safe had she lived to 2020…
The fact is that dying, whether you have people with you or not, it is the one thing you do entirely alone. You come into the world being aware of people around you. Dying, you do alone. And most people who are dying in hospital usually seem the choose to go when they are alone. People could have been around them every minute for days. They step out of the room for a minute or two and their lived one chooses that moment to die.
After my father suddenly died many years ago, I read a very good book called “How We Die”. It helped me understand the process of dying and then death, itself. In a way, it helped me understand my father’s death and, years later, my Mom’s death. That helped me greatly when Mom went.
I lost my grandma to covid 2 days before I got my second vaccine shot. It felt like I had run a marathon only to find no one at the finish line...and that the race had been the previous day. The only thing I'm grateful for is that my aunt was with her and she went fast.
Her daughter was with her. Your grandma didn't die alone. That is somehow both a small but also huge mercy these days. If I was you I would cling to it. I would treasure it and be grateful for it, despite my loss.
I lost some good friends to the virus. I've been to the cemetery more times than ever before. My parents are fine, but many friends have lost theirs. It's hard to walk through the village now and realize that so many are gone. Almost a bit surreal. And I just hate to meet people now who still deny the virus
My Dad died many years before COVID, I held his hand when he left. Many years later I held Margaret’s hand as she lay dying on the road after being hit by a car. I had nothing else to offer as they died except being there to hold their hand so they wouldn’t be alone. I have to believe it makes a difference to them. If not, why am I even here?
I think 'dying alone' [even if we don't know we are about to die] has to be one of the biggest fears we all have. I am 100% certain that both your dad and Margaret were comforted by your presence. Personally, I am impressed by your kindness and strength in staying at those crucial moments in time, when many people's instinct [yours included] would be to run away. You're a good person, Dawn.
Holy shit. I thought she didn't want a hug because she was pushing him away, but then she put on the hand sanitizer, and I realized she was afraid to get him sick. That absolutely broke me.
In the context of the programme and their relationship are, it was also partly not wanting a hug generally.
Losing a parent to covid was so hard. I went through the exact same thing her character did- everything was ok, things were looking up, and then all of a sudden I get a call that I had to say goodbye.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Dam I feel bad for you. I wish you the best of luck
My condolences. So sorry 😞 ❤
My condolences to you riorio982.
I too lost two family members father and older brother, so I can understand your feelings.
I would just say if anyone reading this is worried about taking the vaccine, if you are otherwise healthy PLEASE, PLEASE get vaccinated!! I wouldn’t want another family to go through this surreal nightmare, I can assure you it’s not just a bad flu!!
I'm so sorry for your loss, lost my dad to covid 6 months ago, everything was going okay when we would visit the hospital for updates and then one night we got a call he didn't make it, it's very painful and traumatizing. Hope you are okay
This was absolutely heart breaking - I sobbed watching this!! Everyone moaning about restrictions etc etc really needs to watch this!!
They never needed to die alone cruel and unnecessary...how many years of lockdowns do you want if lockdown s worked we wouldn't have needed more than one if tbey didnt why did they keep having tbem..history will find more died from restrictions than rona....
@@annehathaway2107 i totally disagree with you
- there is a highly contagious potentially lethal virus - common sense says you stay away from people to try and minimise the spread. One of the many reasons we’ve struggled with the virus is because it’s a global pandemic - everyone’s struggling and not everyone is following the rules - if everyone did the chances are we’d be well on our way to getting past Covid! It’s pretty much unprecedented so each government has been using trial and error!
It’s easy to pass judgement when you don’t have any workable solutions yourself!!
@@annehathaway2107 lockdowns saved millions of people. Just compare with countries like Brazil that didn’t do them, or the US that did it piecemeal. How many more people would have died if we had no measures at all? It would have broken the NHS, and as it was it was straining. And look at New Zealand, who went big and early with them, not trying to kowtow to pub owners and other greedy capitalists, and came out of them with very few deaths or infections, relatively short lockdowns, a functioning health system, and an intact economy without spending much at all. Your complaint is more about the roughshod execution of lockdown than the efficacy of lockdown.
@@KatharineOsborne And so the msm fantasy continues good luck with the future we are all going to need it and quote me the same in 2 years when what really happened comes out...good wishes and healing we will all need it..
@@annehathaway2107 go, go away. Ask yourself why you feel the need to post this. Your parents raised you to be better.
My dad is elderly and has a compromised immune system, I count myself incredibly lucky that he isolated properly and has stayed safe through everything. So many others weren't.
Such a great drama! In turns intense, comic & heartbreaking. Superbly well written and impressively acted.
A BAFTA awaits, I'm sure
Totally agree!
I lost my aunt to Covid. She didn't even have anyone with her. She died alone with none of us knowing how she was. We just got a call she was feeling unwell and a few hours later she died.
I’m so sorry to hear this, and for your loss.
my uncle passed away due to covid last year and this movie is a good representation of what we're going through. the covid funeral, the way we can't accompany them at their last breath, or us being confused about what to do with our parents. sharon character blaming the government and everyone is exactly how my uncle's family reacted. shout out to sharon and james for giving their all in this. Definitely the movie I'll show my kids when they ask me about covid.
The government took away peoples ability to moun and visit elderly and vulnerable people. It is sickening beyond belief.
What the name of the movie?
@@CatopiaCatSanctuary Together
@@cateym Thank you!🙏😌
I work in retail and want to smack the Karens who come in screaming re their "right" to go around maskfree. (Shrieking, "I can sue you for $70,000 just for asking me about it !!" Ugh !) Wonder how those witches would feel if someone they loved died in this horrible way !!
The best by far of BBC drama.
Touched all my emotions,
five stars to all involved..
What is this show called?
together
"Mom died on her own AND I can't even ask you to console me with physical affection, like any human being would need while coping with such extreme trauma.
Mom died and I can't even be fully human about my reaction to it."
I am sorry to hear this. From a human to another human, I send you love. Your love was with her.
@@calypsolune Oh no, I was actually quoting (and extrapolating) the video lol. Good news I suppose! Thank you anyway :)
I lost my Grandma to COVID and she also died alone. Grandma, I hope you know how much we all love you. We miss you everyday.
This is sad because a lot of people had to experience this. My heart goes out for them
Even though the death toll is incredibly low and many deaths were mislabelled as COVID
@@seankilburn7200 oh god shut up
@@tjdan3311 why exactly? Feel free to justify restrictions rather than attempt to silence me. Should we all just live in lockdown forever when nobody is dying?
@@RioTVEVO lol coming from you?! How ironic!
4:20 James McAvoy is such a great actor.
This is our future... I'm soo desperately sorry for everyone who have had this experience. I'm soo sorry we don't have people who care in control.
Or, fellow human beings who lack the courage or compassion to face and deal responsibly with the truth of the situation. Certainly, in America, our fellow citizens bear as much responsibility for the deaths, suffering, and societal and economic destruction that has unfolded - and, continues to do so - as many of our elected officials do.
@@elizabethwhite2151 no its most definitely the government that fucked everybody over. More people died from suicides and drug overdoses than covid in 2020 and 2021. Businesses failed due to governments wanting to fine businesses that opened. Governments failed to inform the public that covid wasn’t as serious as they thought they were considering the hospitals maintaining the same or around the capacity that it has been.
In conclusion, governments did a plethora of damage to our society and they could care less because they all made money from it while making people more and more divisive towards each other
Sadly a heartbreaking reality for many people out there. Sharon and James really acted this scene out of the park!
Not really a reality though is it. Not many people have died
@@seankilburn7200 A lot of people have died in America from Covid19 and many other places around the world.
@@PinkRose0910 not really true though is it. Please look at the global death toll and compare it to the global population . Less than 4 million have died in a world approaching 8 billion people and you say it is deadly?
@@seankilburn7200 Yes, it is. What isn’t true about it? That you don’t believe Covid exists or the number of people that died? Are you really going to argue about the death toll? Are you that sick & twisted that you have that much time on your hands, you’re refreshing this page to dismiss others personal experiences of Covid? Go back to the conspiracy side of RUclips. It doesn’t matter what people say to the likes of you, you’ll still spit BS because it doesn’t fit the agenda in your own mind.
@@LauraBidingCitizen I’m not stating there is any large conspiracy. I’m simply stating that the threat this virus poses does not justify lockdowns as the number of deaths have been minute. A mere 0.19% of the British population have died and many deaths were actually mislabelled (this has been in the news officially). I am simply frustrated by these unjustified restrictions that don’t seem to be going away permanently any time soon.
Brilliant acting by both Sharon and James. 💔 Heartbreaking
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that James McCavoy made our day better:
I hope Mario Cuomo , the murderer of thousands sees this , and l hope Karma touches his shoulder soon and deals out true justice.
Some of these comments are also heartbreaking. So much loss for so many.
This is really a good drama. Terrific performances from both Sharon Horgan and James McAvoy. Not only got a good laugh, it also got me weeping pretty bad. I think most of us can relate to at least some of the stories, either the grocery craze, home schooling or other story explored in this drama.
James McAvoy is an absolutely fantastic actor!
He's also the hottest man on earth for me lol
I agree. But Sharon Horgan’s performance shouldn’t go overlooked here. She was brilliant in this. I’m so glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.
My dad died earlier this year, not from Covid, he was actually scheduled for his second vaccination on the day he died, he just took a turn for the worse really fast and passed away quickly. He was in Ireland, I'm in Canada and Covid restrictions meant I couldn't get home for the funeral. It really sucked and I'm sorry to all the many people who have had a similar experience over the past 18 months.
I'm sorry but those who have disliked this video, please look in the mirror and judge yourself for being a stupid.... These people clearly haven't been effected by a loss and if they have, stop being a troll
Huge respect for you to be one of the few who says this. I've had a gutsfull of they who have no idea what the reality is.
WHY DID I JUST DO THAT TO MYSELF?!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Brilliantly done.
Heartbreaking topic that far too many people will relate to.
Hugs everyone xx
Wow, this is powerful acting, so well written and if only the whingers saw this and would wake up and realise this is the reality for how many millions of people around our globe right now. Thank you BBC.
my granny died just over a year ago. i feel so guilty everyday. i went to see her whenever i could, i didn't drive at the time(i had just left school and was doing lessons while trying to find a job), and it was a fair distance to go, with petrol prices etc. and driving up most nights my mum was knackered (not her mum, it was my dads mum but he's not around). went to see her on the saturday, tried to give my mum a night off on the sunday so told her i'd see her monday night - she died monday morning. still think about it everyday and how i should've just gotten the bus up or something. the guilt gives me such a sinking feeling.💔
That is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for you losing your mother.
Keep wearing your masks for few more months to a year. That's it. This thing will be over soon, insha Allah. But masking up is the key. This is the key.
I didn't have a family member die to Covid, but I did have a kind elderly person in my life that died from this wretched virus. She was old, but she could have lived few more years. She was a witty lady with a sad past, but she always kept on with her jokes:) But then...someone gave her the virus, she was admitted to the hospital, we couldn't visit her, we couldn't even call her to say goodbye. She died alone. That's what comes to me now. Alone. She.died.alone. She deserved much more, all the people with the same diagnose did....
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that James McAvoy made our day better:
I lost my mum to covid and cancer, she caught covid from the hospital and my mum died alone because the nurses said they were to busy to sit with her 😭
I’m so sorry
They will have been.
Like in the scene in this video, wards had multiple people dying, on ventillators and with healthcare staff taking the brunt of it.
My dad died in 2016, and my mom was diagnosed with cancer six months after he passed. She beat cancer in the ass, but every single day I tell her I love her. After all of that, I just don't miss that chance to say those words because you just never know when the end will happen for either person.
COVID took many loved ones from us 😞
Or was blamed for it.
Not really. 128k deaths in a population of 67 million is a drop in the ocean
@@seankilburn7200
My cousin (age 23) succumbed to it. Couldn't believe he was gone for at least a couple of weeks...
Those numbers might be insignificant / negligible statistically speaking , but every life is important , and the close ones to them feel the loss tremendously..
@@Zeegoku1007 that doesn’t justify lockdowns. It’s about as deadly as the flu and your cousin was an exception. The majority of deaths are elderly people that would’ve likely succumbed to any disease. Many deaths were also mislabelled which is scandalous
@@lupo10 poor covid :-(
the scene where she explains exponential growth is everything.
I wish that scene was on RUclips. That scene was my favourite part of the movie, it had more of a punch than this scene. Such a beautiful piece of acting, and the fact it was a one-scene monologue was just incredible.
Oooph. Like a dagger.
heart-breaking
Not really. Propaganda is more accurate
To all who were alone … Yeah there’s nothing to say to say to that , that will make that ok . Just like these two characters, there needs to be peace , because if it were anything other than Covid they wouldn’t have been alone . Please find that peace of mind and heart , and congratulations to these fine actors!
I am a student nurse and I have workt on covid ward in Hospital we felt so powerless caus as a nurse you fight to prevent this from happening but with covid it was very hard caus it was so distructif we felt like solgers in a war only we did not see the enemy
Why people in London are protesting against lockdown?
Someone please tell me:(
Because lockdowns are tyrannical...
@@Roadrun98 Thanks:)
Because as history will show, millions more will die as a consequence of the obsession with covid lock downs.All deaths are sad!
We can’t have restrictions forever. Society has to move on. People are worried that these restrictions will go on for years. We have to live with it.
Maybe if you opened your eyes you would see....
Oh my word…. I don’t think I’ve heard many things more heart wrenching. The horror of it is, it’s been true for so many families.
And what great actors…. Wow.😔❤️
OMG Heartbreaking and brilliant
Powerful. 😪🥺
Thank you for your courage.
All anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers should be obliged to watch this scene. .💔🌹
You know its acting??????
🤦♂️
You’re lack on intelligence is baffling. Look at the statistics you fool
@@seankilburn7200 to whom is your comment directed? Thanks.
@@andrewjameshenderson1389 It is directed at you. Lockdown itself has caused far more damage than this virus could ever hope to
Watching this movie now....James and Sharon's performance was AMAZING as always. I've been following James Mcavoy's work from the beginning and today is his Birthday ❤.
One of my friends was only 24. She has lung cancer and she contracted the virus while she was in the hospital for treatment. The poor girl didn't stand a chance.
Très touchant
How can I watch this in the US?
You need to download a VPN service to be able to watch it on BBC iPlayer.

It will maybe be available on a service like BritBox or BBC America.

when are the CCP going to be held to account?
Why?
'account'.....for the failure of governments to respond?
Propaganda
It really isn’t, I know someone who worked as a nurse in intensive care during the peak of this, this story was pretty common to not understand that by now is wilful ignorance, no one should have had to go through that & some still are.
What a stupid time to make this in a pandemic, bbc disgusting.
No it’s really not a stupid time to make this. It’s actually a good representation of the situation and spreads awareness to what people are going through
@@cameronshiells5598 👍🏼
Ratings + propoganda. Nasty.
Is this more BBC propoganda dressed up as drama? Shameful. I would have thought McAvoy would have more sense. Disappointing.
Does anyone have any parents who died before 2020??? A time when basic human rights and liberty were not thrown under the bus is a weird macabre mouring ritual to the dead?
Jesus Christ mate don’t be such a snowflake it’s not like you had to live through a war

Awesome, some new propaganda from the BBC.
So happy I’m continuing to pay my licence fee.
You dont need to watch it so pipe down. Plenty of us have lost people to this virus.
@@oliverpowell574 so we’ve been told.
We’ve just had a lucky run of it for all the other illnesses that haven’t killed anyone last year.
@@oliverpowell574 not very true is it when 0.19% of the population have died. Many deaths were also mislabelled and that is a fact
@@lupo10 yes it seems funny that the flu just decided to not kill anyone this year and that those deaths we would expect to see were labelled as COVID
