Music’s ability to help people who have dementia is celebrated in BBC1’s Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure. The two-part series is hosted by the Line of Duty star, whose late grandmother, Iris, suffered from the illness.

McClure and the choir head for the Abbey Road studios in London to record a single to raise awareness of the inadquate support for people who have dementia. The choir includes existing members Mick and Julie and new members Kev and Leslie, and aims to make up for the lack of music therapy for those with the illness.
