04/10/2006: "Green Wing still on fine form"

I should already have given a pat on a back to the writers and cast of Channel 4's bizarre hospital comedy, Green Wing. We've been treated to the first two shows of the new season and the gags are coming thick and fast.

Particular highlights of the last episode included Imaging and Radiology Consultant, Dr Alan Statham, holding a crazy, sex-laden phone conversaton with his ex-lover... without realising that she was in a conference call. We later see the good doctor, played superbly by Mark Heap, simulating coitus with a prostitute in a taxi in order to humiliate his former girlfriend, who also happens to be the Head of HR. (She's a little mixed up herself, having slept with her son - Dr Guy Secretan - at the end of the last series.)

I can't really explain the owl-related conversation between Statham and junior doctor, Boyce, but it was a joy.

Another BAFTA on the way for the staff of East Hampton NHS Trust?
