Brilliant

A cracking idea but why only three episodes? There looks to be bags of potential here so let's hope we get more. The whole package is absolutely spot on - first-rate writing, good pacing and terrific casting. Edward Easton is a superbly innocent fall guy surrounded by an excellent cast who hardly even notice bringing him down. It's a comedy of the old sort. In other words, funny, unlike anything from Gervais or, it hurts me to say, Coogan.

Does no harm, but brings little laughter to the wards

A vanilla sitcom, set in a hospital, that doesn't push the envelope in any way (cf. Green Wing). Pretty harmless, but not particularly entertaining.

Having watched the first episode, I wasn't enticed to watch the final two.

The most interesting aspect was Rutger Hauer's character. As well portrayed as you'd expect by such an experienced and talented actor; and nicely scripted. But he's too much of a background ("Zen Master") character, to really pull you in. No "I've seen bedpans on fire off the shoulder of Orion" moments, I'm afraid.

Porters

I used to be an Hospital Porter, RNH HASLAR Military - NHS mixed, Gosport, Hants, England. We had a lot of laughs with the Job and Armed Forces, you need a sense of Humour in an Hospital. Bring Porters back, it was a good laugh, R. I. P. Rutger...

Second series so much better

I laughed out loud. The second series is far better than the first with some really funny stories to the episodes. The disdain from higher grades to lower grades is hysterical (I don't know if that realistic, if so not sure how funny it would actually be)
