Season 1 2014

In the first edition, 15-year-old Emily is allowed home for just two hours to decorate the family Christmas tree after having spent almost the entire year in hospital owing to a series of complications relating to a rare genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Eight-year-old Hya suffered kidney failure at birth, but clotting factors mean that dialysis will not be an option for much longer, so doctors and her family have made the decision that she should have a transplant using a donor kidney from her mother, with Malcolm Lewis carrying out the operation.

13-day-old baby Harry undergoes major surgery to remove a tumour from the base of his spine, nine-year-old Isaiah needs help to breathe unaided and seven-year-old Gracie is joining in the festivities on the wards despite her rare and incurable condition.

Three-part series following staff and patients at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. In the final episode, 14-year-old Chloe is rushed to hospital after an accident on Christmas Eve, five-year-old cancer patient Oliver may have to spend Christmas Day in hospital for the second time and 22-month-old Grace is awaiting major surgery.
