I might have just SQUEEEEED loudly at the TV.
Series 1 and 2 of Bodies (Jed Mercurio series with wall to wall super dishy cast inc Max Beesley) I adored it first time round and am rewatching ASAP

Like Casualty meets Line of Duty. Fabulous

I've binged this over the last week - absolutely loved it!
Off to buy the book now - thanks pp

I loved this when it was first shown. I have the DVD box set somewhere. Will definitely be watching it again. Thank you.

FINALLY someone's agreed to go for a drink with Rob,it's taken until half way through series 2. Poor man was desperate for a pint 😉

If the LoD drinking game is have a shot every time theres an acronym, the bodies equivalent is take a shot every time poor Rob gets turned down for a drink Grin

There only seems to be two midwives in the whole place...

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 11:05

17 yr old ds watched a bit with me last night and declared it "pretty good." High praise from a teen 😉

Not going to be playing a drinking game where everytime I go pwoarrh at Max Beesley I drink, I'd be unconscious Blush

I really want to give him a good wash, he looks a bit sweaty especially his hair, I didn't notice it the first time I watched it.

AnyFucker · 15/04/2019 11:44

Am really enjoying watching this again

I temember being glued to the screen when it was shown in the old fashioned once-weekly series way

Those old Xray viewers !

Apart from being slightly dated around technology and the fact that hospital administrators do not actually stride around disciplining medical staff it is actually pretty true to life.

Got to love Tony!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 11:50

Considering it was only 14 years ago the technology advancement is incredible!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 11:51

The disrespectful body shame is pretty hard to hear 😞😱

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 12:00

** body shaming

AnyFucker · 15/04/2019 12:42

Yep, lots of cringing here

There is very dark humour working in obs/gynae though

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 13:14

I imagine it's the only way to get through the day sometimes . Dark humour I get,some of the language directed at the patients is really nasty though.

Flockingflamingo · 15/04/2019 14:28

I like the "it used to be called intensive care until they realised, nobody did."

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 16:12

I'm watching the finale, three years on- I'd forgotten all this!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 16:26

Interesting story line about CJD,I'd forgotten all about that,very current at the time though.

Violetroselily · 15/04/2019 19:39

That uterine inversion at the beginning of series 2 🤮

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 15/04/2019 20:22

I know,I wish I didn't know now that that could happen! Very glad I'm past my child bearing daysShock

diddl · 17/04/2019 17:38

I loved this series-does it seem dated now?

Is this where Keith Allen & Tamzin Malleson met I wonder?

JessMariano · 17/04/2019 21:19

I know violet! Crikey. One thing that definitely dates it is that the actress playing that patient is credited as “Oriental patient”.

Violetroselily · 17/04/2019 21:49

I honestly cant believe it's only from 2004/2005 - it seems so much older than that.
