The first television portrayal of a mercy killing. Made in Holland, where euthanasia is permitted, it tells the story of a 62-year-old patient with an incurable illness, his wife, and the doctor who agrees to administer the fatal injection. Tonight's Late Show at 11.15pm explores some of the issues raised by the programme. See today's choices. Producer Maarten Nederhorst; Series editor
