States of Mind: Minders: Whose Mind Is It Anyway?

on BBC Two England

A series of six stories following a South London community mental health team as they attempt to help patients survive without long-term confinement in psychiatric hospitals.

John Baptist is a young black man who believes he was born white with blue hair and that the Queen is his aunt. He has a history of paranoid schizophrenia but seems to be managing well in his own flat, and has never harmed or threatened anyone. Even so he is forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital. It is the start of a bitter fight as the doctors try to use drugs to eradicate his "inappropriate beliefs".
