The critically-acclaimed 'Green Wing' returns for a second series. From the award-winning team behind 'Smack the Pony', this genre-defying comedy continues to prove medical issues needn’t have any relevance in a hospital setting. Part surreal soap, part comedy drama, 'Green Wing’s' characters now face the unenviable task of clearing up the mess they left behind at the end of series one.
The same ensemble cast are in place for more brilliantly observed, sophisticated mayhem. Tamsin Greig is the idiosyncratic Dr. Caroline Todd; Julian Rhind-Tutt, the fop-haired, wise-cracking heartthrob Dr MaCartney; Steve Mangan the lustful love god Guy Secretan; Mark Heap the stammering, neurotic Statham; Pippa Haywood the tyrannical, age-obsessed Joanna Clore; Michelle Gomez the terrifyingly unpredictable staff liaison officer Sue White; Karl Theobald the endearing failure Martin Dear; and Oli Chris, Dr Statham’s nemesis student, Boyce.
The series boasts a collection of award-winning writers: Victoria Pile, Robert Harley, James Henry, Stuart Kenworthy, Oriane Messina, Fay Rusling, Richard Preddy and Gary Howe.
