Green Wing (TV, 2004-2007)

Outstanding surrealist British comedy from Smack The Pony writer Victoria Pile, made all the better for a short run of only 2 series and a special.
We follow the lives, loves and incestuous relationships of the doctors, nurses and backroom staff of an NHS hospital. Dr Todd (Tamsin Greig) arrives for her first day in a new job to almost immediately find herself in the midst of a love quadrangle involving two handsome doctors and an insane Scottish administrator that will culminate in a botox stabbing and a touch of amnesia.
The show made a household name of Stephen Mangan, gave us the wonderfully funny Mark Heap's best performance and sent Olivia Colman on her way to winning almost every award under the sun.
More Monty Python than Only Fools and Horses, this is British comedy at its absolute best.
