What drives a mother to help her child die? For almost a year, Panorama cameras have been following Kay Gilderdale - the woman at the centre of the recent Assisted Suicide trial - as she faced a possible life sentence over her part in the death of her daughter Lynn.
She talks exclusively to Jeremy Vine about the night she helped her bedridden daughter kill herself and explores whether the law should be changed with those on both sides of the debate, including Debbie Purdy and Baroness Campbell. GRACE Productions spent ten months filming the documentary for Panorama , the BBC's current affairs flagship . The film followed Kay Gilderdale from from the moment she was charged with the attempted murder of her daughter Lynn to her emotional acquittal at Lewes crown court last Monday. I Helped My Daughter Die is broadcast on Monday 1 February at 2030.
