It's the end of the 1950s and Britain is changing. As a young health visitor, Dot embarks on an adventure of her own when she takes a job working from an inner city clinic. Whether ot the clinic, out visiting cases or retrieving errant parents from pawnshops and pubs, Dot is thrown in at the deep end. As a health visitor, she is responsible not just for the babies brought into this world, but an army of toddlers, tykes and tots who all need a helping hand. For Dot it will be a heart-rending journey - trying to help families with next to nothing, sharing the struggles of young mothers and discovering how the spirit of the community can overcome the toughest of circumstances.
