Last month, after the longest inquiry ever conducted by the General Medical Council, three doctors were heavily criticised for their parts in tragic events at Bristol Royal Infirmary.

Surgeons James Wisheart and Janardan Dhasmana were found to have gone on operating on babies despite a poor survival rate among the tiny patients, while Dr John Roylance was condemned for failing to act on concerns expressed to him - over a five-year period - about the surgeons' work. This special documentary uses reconstructions to analyse the events of this case.
