Martin Freeman Visits Great Ormond Street Hospital - Who Do You Think You Are?

Martin heads to London to find out more about the cause of the deaths of Aida and Richards children, visiting the Great Ormond Street Hospital to meet a paediatric consultant.
When he was just 10 years old, Martin Freeman's father died of a heart attack. As a child, the actor tried to show people that he was a "brave little four-foot thunderball". "I've only realised how tough it is as I've got older," he says.
The early loss of his father had another effect: Martin knows "embarrassingly little" about his dad's side of the family. To fill in the gaps, Martin begins by researching the life of his grandfather, Leonard.

It’s hard to hear about infants passing away so early, especially watching it happen, it’s absolutely terrifying and scarring.

[@giannadeluca2598]

I truly hesitate to characterize any grown man as utterly adorable but Martin is utterly fucking adorable.

[@michaeldukes4108]

Same reaction from Freeman shown twice, at 2:00 and 2:47?

[@freedom9160]

I feel so sad for him ♥♥♥♥♥

[@megrobinson1414]

You are a doctor. You'll always be dr Watson to me

[@colmhain]

I've learned that Martin Freeman doesn't really act. He's just himself with a different name before the camera.

Milk fever. My great grandmother lost three babies. All to milk fever. She lost a fourth when, at age 31, her son died from an extracted tooth.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

In this case it was syphilis.

[@pennychurchward1481]

I picked syphilis after he read death certificates

[@MrGksarathy]

He did say syphilis.

[@ianofliverpool7701]

Ofcourse another consideration is that they was not looked after

[@joylynch5204]

I wonder if it had something to do with vitamin D deficiency

[@rositabardeca]

Estar lejos y yo no poder ir porque costar caro

Eza que calle es

If it had been a genetic condition, it could be just bad luck that 50% caught the defective gene. I know someone who’s a carrier of an x-linked condition (not affected herself) having 3 kids, all affected. (Statistically it should only have been 1 in 4, but in that case it was 3 for 3.)
