In an interview on Good Morning Britain last year, Watkins opened up about the difficult emotions that come with the loss of a child.
“We are an imperfect family who have survived the worst thing that can happen to a parent,” he said, adding that the documentary aimed to show that families “can survive” such a loss.
He said: “When we were looking through Maude’s things with our friend I was thinking, ‘Is this a good thing to be doing?’ We knew it would be difficult but because we were in charge of telling the story it was bearable.”.
Bafta-winning actor Jason Watkins has reflected on the loss of his two-year-old daughter, who died suddenly from undiagnosed sepsis.
The 62-year-old and his wife Clara Francis lost their daughter Maude on New Year’s Day in 2011 as a result of a life-threatening reaction to an infection.
