Is it for me?
Hospital-drama viewers who care about staff-room relationships and the hard social questions behind the injuries will feel at home. It is openly political, with NHS funding and closing wards never far off. A drum of toxic gas falls at the docks and the department has to work out what the patients breathed in. Derek Thompson makes Charlie the steady one everyone leans on.
Before you start
Medical cases close within each episode while staff storylines run for months, so you can drop in anywhere but the characters reward watching in order.
49 seasons, 1400 episodes, 50 min each, about 1155 hours so far
