The synopsis on Seven’s advance guide doesn’t give too much away, but I reckon it is. The synopsis on Open University website (Hospital is co-produced by the BBC and Open University) says:
With exceptional access to one of the UK’s biggest and busiest NHS Trusts, Hospital brings audiences intensely close to the issues and challenges that continually dominate the headlines. Filmed over six weeks during the past three months, Hospital is a timely six part series capturing the day-to-day realities facing the NHS right now. Each episode will show with exceptional candour the ever-increasing demands on the NHS’s services, from intricate and morally complex medical ethics to health tourism; from A&E overcrowding to cancelled operations. The audience will see the extraordinary dilemmas which happen every day for the consultants, surgeons and bed managers, all of which have profound consequences for patients and treatments. Shot across five hospitals in Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust London, the series highlights the complex decision making and the impact each one can have, following the key decision makers as they attempt to care for nearly 20,000 people every week. But standing in their way are limited resources, an increasing number of emergency patients and a clock that never stops ticking.
2 series have been made so far. Series 2 also shows the aftermath of the Westminster Attack in March this year including treatment of the attacker and victims.
Filmed over six weeks during the past three months, Hospital is the story of the NHS in unprecedented times.

Crews shot across five hospitals at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London to understand the complex decision making and the impact each one can have, following the key decision makers as they attempt to care for nearly 30,000 people every week. But standing in their way are limited resources, an increasing number of emergency patients and a clock that never stops ticking.
With the Swans and the Giants playing in this week’s AFL semi finals, there will be changes to the Sydney schedule. I think Better Homes and Gardens will either be shown in full on Thursday from 7.30pm, or follow Melbourne (main channel from 7pm to 7.30pm, then 7TWO from 7.30pm to 8.30pm).

Surely they must be out of them soon; I’m getting sick of seeing these every Thursday night. Surely they’ve got something better, some factual show/documentary they could put on e.g. Mighty Ships, World’s Deadliest Roads etc etc instead of this crap that would be much more entertaining.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’m still eagerly anticipating episode ‘Channel Seven’s Schedule Makes You LOL’ to make it to air. This would have to be the highest rated episode of the entire series run one would imagine…
LIAR tells the story of a night that changes the lives of Laura Nielson (Joanne Froggatt) and Andrew Earlham (Ioan Gruffudd) forever.
Laura, recently out of a relationship, is set up with Andrew Earlham, a handsome widowed surgeon and father of one of her students.
The two enjoy a lovely first date, but the next day, rumors and accusations begin to circulate and the two find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and confusion.
Truth and consequences go hand in hand in this tense and gripping thriller that examines both sides of a relationship and both sides of the truth. Are there really two sides to every story?
Created and written by BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated producers and screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams (The Missing), LIAR premieres tonight in the UK (ITV), Sept 27 in the US (SundanceTV) and is coming to Seven.
If you don’t have a ratings box then “your ratings” are irrelevant. Nobody is going to know what you do. But if another network has something better for you then shouldn’t you want to watch it?
Look, I know this comment might have been a bit controversial and I don’t think I should have used the term ‘give my ratings to’. I know that what I watch doesn’t really mean anything in terms of the ratings; I mean I don’t even know if I have one of these ratings boxes that records what I watch or not. But yes I am not taking back what I said about only watching Seven’s shows. I’m from Perth after all, it’s what we do here (according to long term ratings). I know they have the potential to show decent shows as we have seen in the past but for some at present they can only seem to show crap like LOL specials that I don’t watch so I just don’t watch anything at these times; I would not watch anything else typically unless it is on the channels of Seven.
