The hasty regeneration of Corby’s old steelworks poisoned a generation. Now the story of how it came to court is told in a harrowing, if slightly melodramatic, new Netflix seriesJack Thorne writes the kind of meaningful, worthwhile dramas that you definitely – no, honestly – do plan to watch but just maybe not tonight. Best Interests from 2023, about a distraught mother battling the NHS doctors who decide to allow her severely ill teenage daughter to die, was warm, miraculously funny, and as gripping as a thriller.

It’s not panic, this running; it’s a professional respons...
