Allelujah (12A)

Drama about the closure of a Yorkshire hospital ward, adapted from an Alan Bennett play and starring some of Britain’s most loved actors.

When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong?  
 
Adapted from the play by Alan Bennett and starring the talents of Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi and Jennifer Saunders, Allelujah celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients while paying tribute to British medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.
