    All ten episodes of the acclaimed historical hospital drama. Featuring true cases characters and events taken from the London Hospital records nurse's ward diaries and intimate memoirs these gritty medical series show the lives - and forbidden romances - of pioneering doctors and nurses a hundred years ago. Run with a will of iron by formidable Matron Eva Luckes the hospital in London's poverty-stricken East End deals with anything from infectious diseases like syphilis pneumonia and tuberculosis to shocking injuries of the times such as self-abortion injuries victims of anarchist bombings and an East End gang member wounded in a shooting. For the volunteer nurses and doctors - including Nurse Russell Dr Culpin Nurse Bennett Dr Walton and the surgeons Hurry Fenwick and cocaine-addicted Dr Dean - work is tough and relentless. Relationships between staff might be strictly forbidden but romance continues to blossom away from the Matron's gaze. In a time of great change the hospital constantly faces up to the future. Pioneering radiographers work with the perilous x-ray equipment chloroform is scandalously introduced as an anaesthetic and the use of revolutionary new electro-mechanical devices are instigated. Equally gritty and heart-warming these series bring the Edwardian hospital compellingly to life - illuminating the dramas and romances of a fascinating medical era.

    It is November 3rd, 1960 as we follow the last intake of men into National Service at the tail end of conscription. The Cold War is at its height, but an old way of life is drawing to a close, and a new breed of young man is standing up for England, Rock and Roll and the right to think for himself... but they're in the wrong place. Gangsters, teddy boys, peaceniks, posh boys and one certifi able loose cannon are about to find themselves in Two Section, deafened, blinded, choked and disciplined into one tight fighting machine whether they like it or not. And like it they won't. From the food to the beds, from early rising to late watches, from shaven heads to itchy uniforms, they're here to be broken down and rebuilt by the army; but it soon becomes a contest as to which side will break first.
