A series of films about astonishingly tiny newborns, who only a few years ago could not have lived. A New Start
A Special Care Baby Unit is a world of high skill, high tension and sometimes devastating disappointment. At the unit in Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, most of each year's intake of 350 premature and risky newborns become promising infants.
Tonight's film follows the stories of Bryony through her birth at 28 weeks and her stay in the unit; Christopher, who weighs in at a mere 171 ounces; and Jamie, born 17 weeks premature. Can each of them become, as the doctors put it, 'feasible propositions'? Researcher SALLY DIXON Film editor SIMON ROSE
