The Harriet Hawkins Story | Nottingham News

A harrowing NHS maternity scandal in Nottingham is coming to life on screen, spotlighting the preventable deaths of over 500 mothers and babies due to systemic failures at Nottingham University Hospitals. Centered on the real-life tragedy of Jack and Sarah Hawkins, who lost their daughter Harriet in 2016, the new drama brings their raw, unrelenting fight for truth to life — a battle that began when an initial review dismissed their concerns, only for an external probe to conclude Harriet’s death was “almost certainly preventable.” With Jason Isaacs portraying Jack, the series aims to humanize the trauma and ignite empathy, offering viewers a visceral connection to the families’ pain. As the hospital trust calls the review a “watershed moment,” the drama seeks to ensure such tragedies are never forgotten — and never repeated.
