GETTING ON: SERIES 2

Getting On returns for 6 half hour episodes that glimpse inside a world a million miles away from traditional hospital dramas. This is the dull, dreary, dog end of the health service with paperwork to fill, bottoms to wipe, and the drama played out in a thousand tiny acts of revenge and kindness. Getting On shines a light on the way workplace relationships play out and maps out the life of a hospital through six shifts (five day and one night) on B4 ward.
