The critically-acclaimed Green Wing is set in the surreal East Hampton Hospital.
From the award-winning team behind Smack the Pony, this genre-defying comedy proved medical issues needn’t have any relevance in a hospital setting. Part surreal soap, part comedy drama, Green Wing’s characters made a considerable mess whatever they were doing.
The ensemble cast created brilliantly observed, sophisticated mayhem. Tamsin Greig played the idiosyncratic Dr. Caroline Todd; Julian Rhind-Tutt, the fop-haired, wise-cracking heartthrob Dr MaCartney; Steve Mangan the lustful love god Guy Secretan; Mark Heap the stammering, neurotic Dr Alan Statham; Pippa Haywood the tyrannical, age-obsessed Joanna Clore; Michelle Gomez the terrifyingly unpredictable staff liaison officer Sue White; Karl Theobald the endearing failure Martin Dear; and Oli Chris, Dr Statham’s nemesis student, Boyce.
The series boasts a collection of award-winning writers: Victoria Pile, Robert Harley, James Henry, Stuart Kenworthy, Oriane Messina, Fay Rusling, Richard Preddy and Gary Howe.
