Green Wing

Green Wing
TV Show · Comedy · Drama

A British "medical" drama with a mixture of comedy, bizarre soap opera and pure absurdity that would make Scrubs blush. The series was notable for being filmed in a real-live hospital (with genuine patients and doctors as extras), the plot rarely ever touched actual medicine or patient storylines in favor of focusing on the surgeons playing games mid-operations, the love dodecahedron the staff are trapped in, and the misadventures of the HR department.

2004 · 50m
Starring Sarah Alexander, Oliver Chris, Michelle Gomez
Director Tristram Shapeero, Dominic Brigstocke

Season 1

  • EPISODE 1
    Episode 1
    New surgical registrar Dr Caroline Todd arrives for her first day at work, uncoiffed and under deodorised, having spent the night in her car. Her day continues to be hygienically and professionally challenging as she meets her new colleagues at East Hampton Hospital Trust.

  • EPISODE 2
    Episode 2
    While Joanna is extra careful to make sure that she and Statham aren't seen arriving together, Caroline isn't quite so lucky when she is spotted turning up with Guy after having spent that night at his place. Elsewhere, Dr Statham enjoys the swirl of his white coat, and Martin devotes valuable revision time to pursuing a yoghurt thief and a woman - any woman.

  • EPISODE 3
    Lodgers
    HR Director Joanna Clore is worried about her age, while her dangerous liaison with Alan Statham is now in danger of becoming tedious. She demands spontaneity; Statham agrees to give it some thought. Elsewhere, Mac discovers his 'not-ready-to-have-kids-yet' ex-girlfriend is now pregnant. He takes a relatively philosophical view of this, apart from a minor stabbing incident.

    Episode 4
    It's Joanna's birthday and, while she tries to play down the passing of another year, she is delighted to receive a gift that she thinks is from gorgeous IT guru Lyndon Jones. It actually is, of course, from the less-than-gorgeous moustachioed radiology guru Alan Statham. Meanwhile, a major incident rocks the hospital when Guy thoughtfully compiles a 'fanciability' league table of women in the hospital.

  • EPISODE 5
    Episode 5
    Martin is worried that he hasn't got anything to wear to Caroline's housewarming party. He needs a calming influence, a voice of reason, and someone with a keen eye for fashion. Unfortunately, it's Sue White who offers to take him clothes shopping. Elsewhere, Joanna has rashly demanded more mystery from her allegedly secret lover, so Statham overcomes a mild wool allergy to don a balaclava and kidnap her at finger-point.
    52 min
  • EPISODE 6
    Episode 6
    It's a testing time all around as both Joanna and Harriet are forced to visit the pathology lab convinced they are pregnant, Martin sits his exams for the hundredth time, and Mac surreptitiously attends an interview for a promotion. Elsewhere, the extent of Caroline's party misdemeanours are gradually revealed to her, and Statham's dealt a massive double blow to his plans for fatherhood.
