Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw stars in Adam Kay's adaptation of his best-selling memoir about life as a junior doctor. This hilarious - and often heartbreaking - series follows a fictionalised version of Adam as he juggles being a good doctor and a good person, in a system that sometimes feels like it's against him. Set in obstetrics and gynaecology, or 'brats and twats' as it's known, the series reveals the unvarnished realities of Adam's life on and off the ward: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, and a tsunami of bodily fluids. And a personal life forced into second place. All for an hourly rate that struggles to compete with the hospital parking meter. A stark reminder of the vital role played by medics like Adam everywhere.
