Gwyneth Hughes (Doing Money) has penned a brand new series, Three Families, based on the testimonies of real-life people previously impacted by the strict abortion laws in Northern Ireland.

The BBC One drama follows three very different families, and the show’s central characters are based on women whom Hughes interviewed (all names have been changed to protect their anonymity and privacy).
The series synopsis reads, “A mother faces prison for trying to help her pregnant teenage daughter. Two young newlyweds learn that their much-wanted first child will die of a fatal foetal abnormality. If they lived in England, Wales or Scotland, both families could seek a legal termination. But this is Northern Ireland, where abortion laws have been among the most restrictive in Europe.”

Christie stars as family liaison officer Lisa Armstrong, an important member of the police department who works closely with families and friends of crime victims.
In season one, she took on a missing persons case after teenage twins Holly and Dylan disappeared only to discover that she had a personal connection to the family, which threatened to jeopardise the case and her career.
