To think that The Royal...

..has the most unlikely plots of any TV programme ever?

The medical details alone are bonkers.

But it's the fact that half the staff leave the hospital when a minor emergency occurs in the town that really gets me.

I still watch it avidly though.

oh I used to love that

It's on ITV 3 now. Daily.

I hate the fact that the whole thing ends when Dr. Ormerod gets shot and there's no follow-up episode.

really?

a cliffhanger apparently, due to cuts

Really

Yup. Dr. Weatherill is very upset, as are all the staff.

You'd think they'd be used to the staff dying in strange circumstances.

apparently there was a spin off The Royal Today, back in 2008, axed due to low ratings
