Compulsion - The Gamble

on BBC Two England

1/5. Jan Law isn't your typical compulsive gambler - grandmother, ex-warden in a residential home and ardent Doris Day fan. But she's also been charged with 27 counts of theft, all from an 89-year-old in her care. At 54, Jan is homeless, jobless and penniless. As she awaits her trial, this poignant documentary follows her as she tries to come to terms with a pastime that became a destructive addiction.
