Getting On

Hilarious DVD sitcom set about a dysfunctional ward in a UK NHS hospital ward.
Only watched the first episode so far. If the rest are as funny I'm going to need hospital treatment myself for abdominal pain.

Should be.compulsory viewing for health workers.

I wonder where they get all these actors who appear to be old & dying for the bit parts. There must be a special casting agency, maybe called Hanging In There.

I see this show won the UK equivalent of the Emmy's for a comedy program.
Well, it is comedy for the most part but sometimes very black. In fact it leaves you a bit stunned and drained at times at the reality. Other times you think you're in a world created by Kafka or Orwell.

The three lead characters also wrote it and there is a 3rd season.

Working in Hospitals is a blast.
So much funny thrown around.
As Readers Digest had as a section: Laughter is the best Medicine.

My favourite line when wheeling patients in for the Prostate Doctors and they mention the 'finger'. "Better here than in a Prison." Grin
