A Dublin teenager will star in a moving drama series about muscular dystrophy this week.
'Best Interests' will air tonight on BBC One. The four part series focuses on teenage Marnie, played movingly by Niamh Moriarty, who lives with muscular dystrophy.
The young actress has cerebral palsy and has spoken openly about the sensitive portrayal of disability in television. She told the Irish Times that she felt "seen and understood" after reading the script for the upcoming series.
