One of the saddest stories you are bound to see. A woman dies in her flat, but her body isn't discovered until more than two years later. There's more questions than answers about Joyce Vincent (played by Zawe Ashton), but it's hard not to be taken in by the material. So the next time that a friend or a family member calls to check on you for the umpteenth time, be grateful rather than annoyed.
