Written by award-winning writer Jack Thorne and directed by Marc Munden, the drama is set to be very emotional.

But how long is it on for and is there another episode? Here’s what we know…

How long is Help on for?

Help starts at 9pm tonight (Thursday, 16th September) and is on for 120 minutes until 11:05pm.

Is there another episode of Help?

It is a stand alone drama, so there is just one episode.

Opening up about the drama, Time star Stephen said he was deeply affected by the series.

"It takes a special kind of human being to be a carer," he said at the show’s launch.

"I've had children, had to change my children, wash and bathe them, that's one thing. But to do that for an older person, someone who's coming maybe towards the end of their life, you're trying to make their days as comfortable as can be.

"For someone to do that day in, day out, and not just the practical but the humane aspect - maybe you're the only person George and Janet see all day. You're their source of the outside world, their communication.

“And this is what's so beautiful about our story, we see [Sarah] come alive. Maybe she wasn't the most gifted academically, maybe she wasn't going to change the world with her brain, but she's changing somebody's life."
