Allelujah

A threat to the Beth, a small hospital whose geriatric ward is marked for closure, goes unnamed while the staff prepare a concert and a news crew films them. Sister Gilpin (Jennifer Saunders) runs the ward, and Dr Valentine (Bally Gill) watches the patients and the politicians' deadline. Richard Eyre, bringing Alan Bennett's play to the screen, keeps the camera close on the old faces in the beds.
