Season 4 - Episode 34

DESCRIPTION:

From the outside in, there did not seem to be anything wildly different about the Barrass family. Six children and a single mother Sarah, living together in a semi-detached house in the South of Yorkshire. But the Barrass family were not the only occupants. Sarah shared her life with a secret so big she was willing to do absolutely anything, even the unthinkable, to protect it.
