Vicky McClure to return to BBC screens with Our Dementia Choir

Nottingham actor Vicky McClure will be back on our screens on Monday, October 10, 2022. But she will not be in cult cop show Line of Duty, instead she will be back with The Dementia Choir.

It's been four years since the Wollaton-born star formed her choir of people living with dementia. The disease is close to the actress's heart, having previously spoken of witnessing dementia first-hand after caring for her grandmother "Nona" Iris, who died in 2015.

The two-part series begins on Monday, October 10, and catches up with old members Mick and Julie and new members Kev and Leslie. Keen to see the changes that have taken place in the care of patients, Vicky soon discovers that "nothing has really changed; there is a lack of support and help available to those being diagnosed". There are also growing care issues, and music therapy is not available for most people living with the condition.
