Brand new BBC docs quiz show from nurse Jo

SISTER ACT Jo Brand in Getting On JUNIOR Doctors are to compete in a new medical quiz show on BBC2.

Hosted by former mental health nurse Jo Brand, the five-parter will involve eight teams of three medics tackling an array of questions ranging from diagnosing a patient’s symptoms to prioritising cases in an A&E department.

Brand, who played a nurse in the BBC TV sitcom Getting On, said: “It’s like University Challenge but it’s medical — so fingers on organs, teams.”

She joked: “Hooray, another chance to berate junior doctors for their lack of knowledge. Haven’t done that since 1988.”

Britain’s Best Junior Doctors, with Dr Helen Lawal as in-house expert, airs this summer as the NHS celebrates 70 years. BOY GEORGE CONFIRMS HE IS DOING WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
