Kate Garraway: Caring for Derek

“The person he is now, in many ways, is a stranger.” Kate Garraway finally welcomes her husband, Derek Draper, home after 374 days in hospital with Covid-19. In this follow-up to last year’s emotionally frank Finding Derek, they continue to share the reality of how the virus rocked their lives – despite this exhausting journey, there is hope and gratitude.

The warm comedy continues to pack more awkward moments into its 10-minute episodes than should be allowed.

Zack, meanwhile, turns to Google in an attempt to make sense of his voyeuristic vase moment. Hannah Verdier
