Plot

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.

The series begins with a new arrival, surgical registrar Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig.) Caroline suffers from constant embarrassment and misfortune, stumbling from one crisis to the next due to a mixture of her own indecisiveness, clumsiness, and general bad luck. Caroline works alongside two other doctors: Guy Secretan (Stephen Mangan), a half-Swiss, womanising anaesthetist, and ”Mac” (Julian Rhind-Tutt), a charming, effortlessly cool surgeon. It is not long before Caroline begins to develop feelings for both of them, though she is unsure as to which of the two she truly loves. Other people Caroline meets include Martin Dear (Karl Theobald), who constantly failing his exams, Angela Hunter (Sarah Alexander), a seemingly-perfect, but irritating, senior registrar in paediatrics. Alan Statham (Mark Heap) is a pompous, stuttering, kinky and extremely odd consultant radiologist, who is desperately and hopelessly in love with Joanna Clore (Pippa Haywood), the head of human resources. Their relationship is an open secret, with student doctor Boyce (Oliver Chris), often using it as a weapon against them, bullying Alan constantly. Joanna’s human resources staff include Kim (Sally Bretton) “Naughty” Rachel (Katie Lyons), Herriet Schulenburg (Olivia Colman) and Karen (Lucinda Raikes)

Caroline’s main rival for Mac’s affections is Sue White (Michelle Gomez), the Scottish staff liaison officer employed to listen and respond to the problems of East Hampton’s staff.  She is the most eccentric member of staff in the hospital; abrasive, cruel, foul-mouthed, obsessive and completely self-absorbed. Her office is a place where the impossible tends to happen, and anyone who enters is normally treated with a mixture of verbal abuse and psychological torture.
