BBC Two - Can't Take It with You, Guardianship

A father is desperate to protect his farm and wants to leave it all to his sons.

Series confronting the difficulties of writing a will. Sir Gerry helps two couples worried over what will happen to their children in the event of their deaths.

Series confronting some of the emotional dilemmas people face in writing a will and help them with the often taboo and neglected task of working out how to evaluate and divide their estate.  

An astonishing 70 percent of us will go to our graves without ever making a will.  However, dying without a legally valid will, or having written an incorrect one, can lead to loved ones receiving nothing and could even tear a family apart. Each week Sir Gerry Robinson, one of the country's leading businessmen, and top legal expert Sue Medder will help two families face up to writing their wills, bringing friends and relatives together to discuss who gets what and why.  

Sir Gerry meets two couples facing tough decisions over what will happen to their children in the event of their deaths.  Sarah has two daughters by different fathers. She wants new husband Jason to take on both girls if she dies, but is terrified that her former partner might want to separate the sisters. 

In the second family, Ian is a polar adventurer, who has been unable to write his will because he and wife Becky can't agree on whose parents would be best to bring up their three young daughters. Both want their own parents to take on the role - but the two sets of grandparents are very different.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
