Children's Hospital 8.00pm BBC1
Touching our hearts and minds again are the stories from the busiest children's casualty unit in Europe, Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital. In this third series, some of the cases featured include a ten-year-old girl who has an inflammation of the thigh bone, a Downs Syndrome baby with a hole-in-the-heart who needs an operation, and a baby girl whose skull is re-shaped in a delicate operation.
In the first programme, the usual fall-out from Guy Fawkes night keep the department busy, while baby Chelsea, who was born without a gullet, is rushed to the hospital for specialist surgery. Meanwhile, ten-year-old Joanna is preparing for an operation to correct her erratic heartbeat.
