Quote:

Life is not all gin and tonics in front of the telly for Gogglebox’s Steph and Dom Parker. The hoteliers are also parents to 18-year-old Max, who has severe epilepsy and autism. So could cannabis oil be the miracle cure they have dreamed of? In this one-off documentary they weigh up the risks, learn more about the legalisation debate and affectingly reveal the everyday challenges of caring for a son with special needs.
