New 5 part medical drama

Dr Lucinda Edwards (Niamh Algar) is a smart, battle-hardened doctor, but we meet her on a nightmare shift that ends in the death of an opioid overdose victim, Edith Owusu.

Despite the support of her medical supervisor, Dr Leo Harris (James Purefoy), Edith’s grieving father (Brian Bovell), demands an inquiry into Lucinda’s actions on the fateful night.

Leading the medical investigation are Dr Norma Callahan (Helen Behan) and Lucinda’s former colleague, Dr George Adjei (Jordan Kouamé). While George feels this was an unavoidable tragedy, Norma is suspicious of Lucinda’s behaviour and decisions in the lead up to the patient’s death.

As the pressure of the investigation intensifies, Lucinda’s relationship with husband Tom (Lorne MacFadyen) starts to fracture, and her confident professional exterior begins to crack. Is Lucinda hiding something?

Episode 1
Dr Lucinda Edwards is a smart, experienced A&E doctor, in the midst of a nightmare shift. She has a gunshot victim and an opioid overdose patient who both need a bed in resus, but there’s only room for one of them.

When one of the patients dies, Lucinda realises her troubles have only just begun.
Dr Norma Callahan and Dr George Adjei are investigators from the Medical Investigation Unit, tasked with assessing whether Lucinda is fit to practise medicine.

Feeling the pressure of their close scrutiny, Lucinda is desperate to prove that she can be a competent doctor.

all will be on ITVX - rolls eyes - so any bingers - shush !!!

Does this start tonight? I’m going to attempt to sit down and watch it if so

purpleme12 · 23/04/2023 20:51

Yes

My child is still up so doesn't look like I'll get to watch it in time ☹️

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:16

Ooh this is good!

Tracker1234 · 23/04/2023 21:17

It’s a bit Casualty like.

the80sweregreat · 23/04/2023 21:18

It is good. I want to know who Rose is

Well that's a good sign if it is as I love Casualty 🤣

Tracker1234 · 23/04/2023 21:19

Not sure about this..will keep going though

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:20

Why did she change it to deliberate overdose on the notes?

Aquarius1234 · 23/04/2023 21:20

Watching for the main actress!

midsomermurderess · 23/04/2023 21:21

By that token, every UK hospital drama from Bodies to this could be called, in passing Casualty like.

Aquarius1234 · 23/04/2023 21:22

Didn't think she'd be married with child.

midsomermurderess · 23/04/2023 21:23

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:20

Why did she change it to deliberate overdose on the notes?

Anticipating that she mighten't get the care she needed, hoping an oh well, it was attempted suicide, might be a way to gloss over it.

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:25

@midsomermurderess thanks I wondered if it was that...love your name I’m a huge midsomer fan

Aquarius1234 · 23/04/2023 21:27

Oh I hope it's not interview all episode.

CrapBucket · 23/04/2023 21:29

Wow brutal start. I thought she changed the note so that other people would look after her with greater care. So far I am really rooting for her.

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:29

She just explained why she changed it in the notes

CrapBucket · 23/04/2023 21:33

Ooh what were the secret tablets?

Aquarius1234 · 23/04/2023 21:34

Is Rose the drug dealer..

Tracker1234 · 23/04/2023 21:35

Didn’t like the swearing at her daughter tbh. Little girls face was so sad.

Slimjimtobe · 23/04/2023 21:35

I love it (didn’t see secret tablets??)

daffodilandtulip · 23/04/2023 21:36

Feeling the anxiety and brutality of the interview!

midsomermurderess · 23/04/2023 21:44

I read a review, in the Guardian I think, that said as soon as the episode is over you'll want to go back to see everything you missed.

Eightiesgirl · 23/04/2023 21:45

What's in that cup she's always drinking from?

CrapBucket · 23/04/2023 21:48

Oh rose is not rose!!!!

ilovebrie8 · 23/04/2023 21:50

Think the pills were AD’s or similar
