Description

Green Wing is a one-hour British television comedy series created by Victoria Pile and set in the fictional East Hampton Hospital Trust.

Although set in a hospital there are no medical storylines; the action is produced by a series of soap opera and Commedia dell'arte-style twists and turns in the personal lives of the characters.

The series originally aired in the UK on Channel 4 from 3 September 2004 - 4 January 2007. There are 17 episodes in two seasons, as well as one 90-minute special.

Green Wing premiered in South Africa on DStv's BBC Prime channel on Tuesday 14 August 2007, at 20h30.

Season 2 premieres on Tuesday 29 January 2008, at 20h30. Episodes are aired on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 20h30, with repeats on both nights at 23h30.

Synopsis

Green Wing is part surreal soap, part innovative comedy drama. The plot revolves around the lives of the staff of the East Hampton Hospital Trust, an NHS hospital with staff ranging from the slightly unusual to the completely bizarre.

Despite a general lack of medical attention, Green Wing follows new surgical registrar Dr Caroline Todd through her first day at work and beyond, starting out as she means to go on - dishevelled and under-deodorised having spent the night in her car.

Apart from the idiosyncratic Dr. Caroline Todd, there’s a host of other bizarre characters - Dr McCartney, the fop-haired, wise-cracking heartthrob; the lustful love god Guy Secretan; Dr. Alan Statham, a stammering neurotic; the tyrannical, age-obsessed Joanna Clore; and the terrifyingly unpredictable staff liaison officer Sue White.
