THIS IS GOING TO HURT

STREAMING FROM TUESDAY, BINGE

JUNIOR doctor Adam Kay (Ben Whishaw, pictured) works on a busy gynaecology and obstetrics ward (or “brats and twats” as he calls it), but he’s more Gregory House than Offspring’s Nina Proudman. Just like Hugh Laurie’s character in House, Kay isn’t known for his bedside manner, which makes for some amusing exchanges with his patients and colleagues. Based on the memoir by a real-life NHS doctor of the same name, this series doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of the job. It showcases the pressures that overworked doctors deal with every day.
