Surgical Spirit

I had completely forgotten about Surgical Spirit, bought the box set and binge watched it, it's a terrific show, great humour, cutting wit, wonderful characters, and some awesome performances. A few moments of slapstick fun, but apart from a few episodes it doesn't get silly. My favourite episodes are Wanderlust and Sammy Eldridge, both are brilliant.

The casting was perfect, Nicola McAuliffe is dazzling as Sheila Sabatini, she's caustic, cutting, but compassionate and great at her job, Duncan Preston is the perfect balance to her, great also, he's mild mannered and genuine. Everyone is great, Marji Campi often makes it as nosy unit manager Joyce, her scenes with Sister are a scream.

Series four is my favourite, but there never comes a point where it dips in quality, although the show is littered with classic episodes. It's a shame it ended.

I would definitely recommend it. 9/10
