Bodies (DVD, 2004)
Bodies is a British television medical drama produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC. Created by Jed Mercurio, the series first broadcast on 23 June 2004, and is based on Mercurio's book of the same name. The series is centered on specialist registrar Rob Lake (Max Beesley), who starts in a new post in the Obstetrics and gynecology department at the fictional South Central Infirmary, under the guidance of consultant obstetrician Roger Hurley (Patrick Baladi).
The series differed from most other archetypal British hospital dramas, in that the surgical scenes were notable for their graphic nature, offering intimate detail of various procedures, and the operational complications dealt with in explicit detail. As a result, the themes were also often dark and depressing, including negligence, manipulation and death.
The following episodes are included on the disc:
S1EP1: Junior doctor Rob Lake starts work in a maternity unit and witnesses the negligence of an incompetent obstetrician.
S1EP2: When another of Hurley's operations starts to go wrong, Rob persuades Whitman to intervene before it's too late.
S1EP3: Rob attempts to persuade Hurley to admit to his bungled operation. However, it's a lot harder than it sounds.
