As the 20 members of the choir took to the stage at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham, UK, it wasn't simply their nerves they'd had to overcome to perform in public. Each member of the choir had dementia and faced the challenge of remembering the lyrics to the songs. Their performance of In My Life by The Beatles was the climax of Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure, a two-part documentary first shown on May 2 and 9, 2019, on UK television station BBC One. The programme's presenter—actress Vicky McClure, best known for her roles in drama series such as Line of Duty and This Is England—has supported the Alzheimer's Society since helping to care for her Nana Iris, who died from dementia in 2015.
