Touching family reason Vicky McClure founded Our Dementia Choir

Nottingham's Vicky McClure reunites with members of Our Dementia Choir, which she helped to form four years ago in a new series for BBC One. The two-part documentary series examines issues surrounding the dementia care system and sees Vicky make history at Abbey Road.

The documentary re-introduces familiar faces from the first series, including Mick Bonser, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2018 at just 51 years old.

"People will notice a massive change in Mick," McClure said and added that the follow-up will be "quite difficult to watch for some people". The release of the documentary's second series comes just months after Our Dementia Choir performed a set at Splendour Festival in Wollaton Park, alongside Brit Award nominee Tom Grennan.
