GREEN WING SERIES 1 EPISODES 7-9 (2007)

TRISTRAM SHAPEERODOMINIC BRIGSTOCKE

Plot

Green Wing follows new surgical registrar Dr Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig) through her first day at work and beyond, starting out as she means to go on - dishevelled and under-deodorised! Along the way she meets an assortment of bizarre and demented characters including: Guy Secretan (Stephen Mangan), the smooth talking part-Swiss anaesthetist and all-round misogynist; Dr. Alan Statham (the ever-excellent Mark Heap), possibly one of the kinkiest doctors on the ward (that's saying a lot too!), a man whose affliction is to think out loud (something that the cheeky intern Boyce likes to exploit quite frequently); then there's the dashing, but aloof, Dr. 'Mac' Macartney (Julian Rhind-Tutt). Like one long skit camouflaged as a sitcom, or is that the other way round, actually, perhaps that's a soap, anyway…it's quite funny.
