Parminder Nagra explores working motherhood in new ITV drama

With the NHS under increasing strain and further industrial action expected this year following nurses and ambulance staff striking in December over pay, we're all aware of the struggles our National Health Service has been facing in recent years and the knock-on effects of this.

Having starred as a doctor in many of her previous roles for shows such as ER and Fortitude, you'd be forgiven for thinking Parminder would want to steer clear of another medical show. "I've played a few doctors before, it seems to be my niche!" she laughs. "But the thing that really attracted to me to Maternal was the humour in there and the drama of it, so it allowed me to do all of it.

"The juggle is real, it is really real. In the first scene where you meet Maryam, she's wondering 'What if I really like going back to work?' and feeling guilty about that. But I suppose the journey of all those characters is that, what if one makes the other one better? It's not either-or," Parminder explains.
