GB News host Bev Turner has hit out at new ITV drama ‘Breathtaking’, which looks to highlight the horrors NHS staff faced during the Covid pandemic.
The drama is inspired by British doctor and writer Rachel Clarke, who Bev describes as a “classic jab-pushing, social distance advocating, anti-science, mask selling, Covid scientist” in a scathing analysis.
She went on to draw a distinction between her and the “amazing, hardworking, underpaid doctors and nurses who work in hospitals every day”.
Commenting on the series itself, Bev claimed the drama is a case of somebody “cashing in” on their newfound fame that came about as a result of being a prominent voice during the pandemic.

“It was a hideous event we all went through and it will all be one-sided”, she said.
“There is no doubt the nurses and doctors were terrified.

“But from the start, there was a failure of risk assessment. It was not really understanding. It was a virus we closed the whole country down for that we’re still seeing the effects from.
“We’re seeing it in mental health for kids, the economy crashing, those issues won’t be handled in this drama.
“I think that’s incredibly manipulative. What I hated throughout that period of time was how much the British public was manipulated.”
Bev’s co-host Andrew Pierce waded in to highlight the fact the production is a drama, and its producers are allowed to treat it as such.
“They can take whatever liberty with that”, he said.
“Clarke is a contentious figure, she would often criticise the Government and is hyper-critical of the Tories particularly.”
Bev added that she “wouldn’t be able to watch” the drama.
ITV says its drama “pays tribute to sacrifices made by NHS staff during the Covid-19 pandemic, revealing the reality of hospital life in the face of momentous challenges”.
It follows acute medicine consultant Dr Abbey Henderson and her team as they struggle with the first wave of Covid-19 patients.
They are forced to content with a shortage of PPE, staff and beds.
