True Story with Hamish & Andy (2017)
S01E03 Sammie
Episode Overview
In the third episode, we are introduced to Sammie (Helen Dallimore), a devoted wife to Matt (John Leary) and mother to their 12-year-old son, Hughie. Set against the backdrop of a true story from 2005, Sammie's affection for Matt faces a severe challenge during her pregnancy due to his intense aversion to needles. When Sammie needs an amniocentesis—a procedure involving a large needle—Matt feels compelled to support her by attending the appointment, despite her pleas for him to stay away. This ill-fated decision spirals into chaos, leading to a near-fatal incident that sends him to a plastic surgeon, where he is confronted with even more needles. The situation becomes increasingly dire for both of them.
