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 !!!

And while i have the same recollection as PP that Lucinda gave the right instructions. (i think that's right isn't it) i think it is also clear that Ramya is not one of the favourites on the team to put it mildly. She's treated worse than the rest and it probably has a knock on effect on her confidence

No one has mentioned the manager from the chemist yet !

Is he the JS on the phone ....
and the same fella from the awards ceremony?

purpleme12 · 09/05/2023 01:15

I wondered if he was but couldn't be sure

bizzey · 09/05/2023 01:22

I am so cross I deleted my recording before checking the credits to see if he was listed as his own character!

purpleme12 · 09/05/2023 01:29

@Blondeshavemorefun might be able to have a look for us. She likes going back to check things 😂

bizzey · 09/05/2023 03:05

I think they are the sane man. They did show awards man in the recap too. I wasn't 100% but assume they must be.

Though not quite sure why manager of a small chemist would also be presenting awards, he sounded quite high up at the awards ceremony.

Indeed I do

I didn't even reliese it was the same man. Well noticed !!!

So dodgy chemist giving drugs illegally is the founder Jubuia Singh

Jubai Singh is the owner of a chain of pharmacies- including the one that Camilla gets her drugs from.

I am enjoying it but wish it was Iplayer as ITV X app is dreadful. I keep missing bits but rewinding is such a huge PITA that I don’t bother going back.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/05/2023 23:08

Why don't you watch it weekly on itv @CrapBucket

I don’t have normal TV (i.e. through an aerial) - I have to watch everything through apps, it’s very annoying!

In fact I have actually bought an aerial but the DIY defeated me and now the handyman who is meant to be installing it has vanished. It could be a 6 part drama of its own quite honestly 🤣

@CrapBucket my roof aerial started playing up so I just got a portable indoor aerial from Amazon. There are loads between about £13-25. I think they’re digital as well now, but mine works really well and it’s quite old. Pick one with four stars.

Tirrrrred · 10/05/2023 07:16

I'm sure it's the same man from the awards ceremony. Although he is CO of a large chain of pharmacies so I'm not sure he would be sitting in the back of one. Plus I didn't notice he had a stick before?

Yes that was my objection? Manager sounded too lowly for his awards ceremony presenting position. But it must be.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/05/2023 09:44

They said in awards he was the founder

I think the chemist is just a front for other dodgy dealings. It probably opens up into opulent offices behind the chemist shop where he's sitting!

NoodlePoodel · 14/05/2023 21:48

I can't say I'm finding this believable now!

daffodilandtulip · 14/05/2023 21:50

Well he won't be telling the truth now will he?! Someone's off to prison!

LaMarschallin · 14/05/2023 21:50

That's because it really isn't.

LaMarschallin · 14/05/2023 21:51

Believable, I mean.

daffodilandtulip · 14/05/2023 21:52

@CrapBucket STV is loads better (just requires a little postcode fib 🙊)

daffodilandtulip · 14/05/2023 22:02

I thought she was going to come out with a recording to get her off the hook, not more bloody diazepam!

burnoutbabe · 15/05/2023 08:05

Yes I assumed she was going to whip out a phone to show she was recording.

She is a mess, surely asking to check into a rehab clinic and throwing herself into the medical councils mercy seems best now? I can't really see how she will "come good" in final episode. (As I assume she is mostly telling the truth about being framed but she also pushed someone into traffic and caused her daughters overdose.

butterpuffed · 15/05/2023 13:23

I hope she won't get off the hook , she only thinks of herself . Falsified that diazepam prescription so she could have some for herself , swore to Tom on her daughter's life she wasn't a drug addict etc., etc . She's a badd'un !

It's very good though , am tempted to watch the final one but I won't 😇
