Welcome to East Hampton Hospital, where medical emergencies take a backseat to the absurd and chaotic personal lives of the staff. *Green Wing* is a surreal comedy that throws traditional sitcom rules out the window. The series centers on the tangled relationships between the effortlessly cool Dr. "Mac" Macartney, the perpetually flustered Dr. Caroline Todd, and the insufferably arrogant surgeon, Guy Secretan.
Surrounding them is a gallery of bizarre characters, from the terrifyingly obsessive staff liaison officer Sue White to the stammering, insecure radiologist Dr. Alan Statham. With its unique visual style of sped-up film and slow-motion sequences set to a distinctive soundtrack, the show’s humor is wonderfully offbeat and unpredictable. The critically acclaimed series has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.

A British "medical" drama with a mixture of comedy, bizarre soap opera and pure absurdity that would make Scrubs blush.
The series was notable for being filmed in a real-live hospital (with genuine patients and doctors as extras), the plot rarely ever touched actual medicine or patient storylines in favor of focusing on the surgeons playing games mid-operations, the love dodecahedron the staff are trapped in, and the misadventures of the HR department.
It was nominated for several awards, including 2 BAFTAs, and won "Comedy of the Year" in 2006.
