Green Wing - Series 1 & 2Review date: 2006-07-22 Rating: 10 out of 10"Green Wing" is the BAFTA award winning sitcom/sketch show/comedy drama/soap opera about the surreal East Hampton Hospital Trust, an NHS hospital somewhere in England, which is heavy in the number of staff, but low on patients.
"Green Wing", created by Victoria Pile (Smack the Pony) follows the misadventures of its staff, most notable of which is Dr. Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig), a new surgical registrar who is never more from one step away from total humiliation. Through her journey, we meet the rest of the staff, such as half-Swiss womanising anaesthetist Dr. Guy Secretan (Stephen Mangan), effortless cool surgeon Dr. "Mac" Macartney (Julian Rhind-Tutt), kinky consultant radiologist Dr. Alan Statham (Mark Heap), his love interest, 48-year-old HR director Joanna Clore (Pippa Haywood), sociopathic staff liaison officer Sue White (Michelle Gomez), unloved house officer Dr. Martin Dear (Karl Theobald), Alan's nemesis Boyce (Oliver Chris), perfect paediatrician Dr. Angela Hunter (Sarah Alexander), mother of four Harriet Schulenburg (Olivia Colman), down-trodden Karen Ball (Lucinda Raikes), abusive Kim Alabaster (Sally Bretton) and the very Naughty Rachel (Katie Lyons).
Whilst visiting the hospital, be prepared to look out for love affairs, discoveries of new family ties, murderous plots, cliffhanger endings, an operation in Geordie, a man eating a gall bladder, an incident with a dwarf and a stuffed heron, a 30 feet tall homoerotic image displayed on the hospital walls, and the bizarre sport of "Guyball" (pronounced gheeball).
