Kids
9pm, Channel 4
The number of children in care in the UK is at its highest level on record, and this striking three-part documentary shows the complicated and emotionally heavy reality of this. Take 17-year-old Xorin, back living with his mum after three years in care – but both are struggling with mental health and the threat of the gang that groomed him. Pregnant 19-year-old Annabelle, meanwhile, is determined to break the cycle of care, so is concerned when she learns that her mother is also having a baby. “I’m not bringing up my sibling as well as my own new baby,” she tells a worker from Coventry children’s services; members of the team share their insights into each case. A troubling but touching watch. Hollie Richardson
