Million Dollar Babies

on BBC Two England

M First of a two-part drama based on the true story of the Dionne quintuplets, starring Beau Bridges and Celine Bonnier. Ontario, 1934: the wife of a poor French-Canadian farmer gives birth to a record five children - all girls - and the couple soon find their lives changed forever as the nation's media descend upon their small community. Worse is to come for the Dionnes, however, when the Canadian government, determined to keep such a money-making event from falling into the hands of its
American neighbours, threatens to take the quins away from their parents. Concludes tomorrow at 7.10pm. (R) (S)
