EVERYONE ELSE BURNS
With Lars and his wife taking Elis to Sweden for the weekend, Catherine (Lara Pulver) needs a distraction to avoid being left home alone with a bottle of gin and her life choices.
The answer arrives in the form of Ladies’ Night – an event organised by Maryam’s mosque friends, with a buffet, DJ and dancefloor.
Maryam (Parminder Nagra) isn’t exactly buzzing to spend an evening with a load of women who treat her like a doctor, but as it gets going she begins to feel some of her anxiety taking a back seat.
Helen (Lisa Mcgrillis) meanwhile is in charge of the Acute Medical Unit for the night, which equates to being run ragged for 12 hours. It’s all made worse when she makes a troubling discovery about Guy.
As the early hours set in, Ladies’ Night takes an unexpected turn for Catherine and Maryam, leading the former to face one of the biggest challenges of her surgical life.

This sitcom with Simon Bird as the head of a strictly religious Manchester family is packed with heavenly gags.
In this episode, wife Fiona (Kate O’flynn) is starting to feel suffocated by David’s (Bird) bi-weekly dates, and her eyes start wandering down the road to David’s Lycra-loving nemesis, Andrew (Kadiff Kirwan).
And she becomes more frustrated when David is inspired to confess his deepest, darkest secret: a mysterious box he refers to as the “Tupperware of
Sin”. Meanwhile, at school, Aaron (Harry Connor) is encouraged to stop drawing pictures of non-believers being tortured in hell.
Meanwhile, David finds the new direction of his art rather challenging.
“Didn’t we say you’d stop drawing people being purged?” enquires Fiona.
And teenager Rachel (Amy Jameskelly) remains torn over her feelings for Joshua (Ali Khan), so decides to turn to her parents for reassurance about her potential exile from the family.
What they have to say leaves her wishing she hadn’t bothered.
