Great Ormond Street 8.00pm BBC 1
Every parent's nightmare is all in a day's work for the team in Great Ormond Street's intensive care unit. When a three-year-old child is rushed in to the hospital battling for her life, it quickly becomes clear to the staff that she's suffering from meningococcal septicaemia. Her mother has nursed her all night, but now all she can do is wait as doctors try to keep her daughter's heart, lungs, kidney and brain functioning on a life support system.
Meanwhile, 12-year-old Sara has been flown in from Pakistan because the hospitals there cannot agree what is wrong with her. The bill for finding out may be more than £30,000 but her father, an engineer in a steel mill, is prepared to pay anything for his daughter's health.
